Pumpkin Deaths, Natural and Not

Last week, our neighbors invited us to go pumpkin picking. It was a grey fall day, but warmish (around 50F) with no rain. So in other words, not bad at all.



Unfortunately, the vast quantities of rain have wreaked havoc in the squash fields this year.



Everything was affected. Even the smallghetti. Poor smallghetti.


In the end, we stopped at a farm stand and bought our pumpkins there rather than picking them from the patch. We came home with one big one for carving and a few small ones for decoration and for soup.


We roasted the seeds.


Julius helped carve.



Voilà!
