What’s better than a field full of pumpkins? How about 3 little girls carving some on the lawn in front of our barn?

Today I had the distinct pleasure of going to the pumpkin patch with three little girls who had great fun picking out the perfect orange globe. Then we brought them back to the house and carved them.

Not all of us were so sure that it was actually fun…

Good thing the grownups could have a beer while we helped disembowel their pumpkins and a couple of testers from the garden.

Turns out we had 15 greenish orange pumpkins hiding in the garden. We carved two today, definitely not ripe. Half will now decorate the front porch, the rest will go in the back bedroom with the squash haul to try and ripen over the next couple of weeks.

What a beautiful fall day.
