Home Grown, Orange Cutie-Pie

This morning, we headed over to my grandma's house.  

In the early summer, we had bought some pumpkin seeds and grandma sowed them into her garden.  For the longest time, nothing.  Then . . . . we discovered just ONE pumpkin.  It grew and grew, but since we are having a drought it did not grow that much.  Then a few weeks ago we got some much needed rain and would you believe it another THREE pumpkins appeared.  So today we went to check out our pumpkins.

The first pumpkin was ready so grandma let Pumpkin cut it from the vine while Princess watched.  They were both really excited.  After we freed our first pumpkin, we took a look at the remaining three.  They still have a bit more growing to do so we left them alone, but they will have to be cut soon before the first frost. 












Pumpkin and Princess really love their home grown, orange cutie-pie pumpkin!  Pumpkin declared as we walked back into great-grandma's house "Let's make pumpkin pie!"  Grandma just chuckled and said "Let's wait a while."  Then off Pumpkin went, to find a temporary home for his pumpkin.
