October begins

 October! I gave in and bought a pumpkin (one of those small ones in this picture) and have had it beside my gate to welcome Fall. Sometime this week or next I should bring out my Halloween stuff. (The only reason I haven't asked the condo to remove the half dead tree beside my gate is that I need it to hang my 'ghost' on. (It's a wind sock, so it's neat when it flaps in the wind.

Pumpkin Pie Facts

Did you know?

The world's largest one was made on Sept. 25, 2010 at the New Bremen, Ohio Pumpkinfest consisting of 
1,212 pounds canned pumpkin, 
109 gallons evaporated milk, 
2,796 eggs, 
7 pounds salt, 
14 1/2 pounds cinnamon,
 AND 525 pounds of sugar. 

Yep! 
Weighing in at a colossal 3,699 pounds, this tasty dessert measured 20 feet in diameter. 

It's time to make the PIE!

Pumpkin Patch

There's nothing cuter than a kid in a pumpkin patch, especially if it's your grandson.
