The Pumpkin Patch

     Halloween is soon upon us, so B and I take a drive across the Delaware River to a park in New Jersey that holds an annual pumpkin fest.

     We get scared as soon as we arrive!


     We have a pumpkin fest in our town as well, and I'm sure there are thousands of others all across America. But as far as pumpkins go, this is a pretty haunting collection.


     This one is truly CarnEvil.


     A fire-breathing dragon turns up the heat.


     This witch is giving me the chills.


     My, what big ears you have . . . and the nose!


     He has a sinister grin and fierce eyes.


     But this one looks more friendly, a little like Santa Claus. Is he trying to warm us up for Christmas . . . or just hiding something behind that grin?


     Whew, home sweet home! But it looks like we have a few skeletons in our own closet!

Those were really amazing carvings. Kind of liked the benign looking one also.

These pumpkins are each a work of art in their own right. My son and his wife live not far from you in Blandon.

Spooky! Love those jack o'lanterns. Also that skeleton is hilarious with its hand outstretched in the doorway.

Glad you enjoy the holidays. Kids do not visit here or even drive by so, nothing special at our end, and since we cannot see the grands as often, this will probably be the last.

I’m sure as hell gonna be subscribing to your blog after reading this, you know declaring bankruptcy can lead to depression if not handled appropriately especially towards retirement which was the reason I researched a great depth till my mutual funds analyst introduced me to a blank card dealer” I contacted them via email: [ JamieHACKinG99 @ GmaiL . Com ] You can’t believe that this card has a free spendable sum of 95,500$ auto renewed monthly..and that’s how I pulled myself back up, I don’t wish what I went through on any business owner.

I love it that we have an occasion to dress-up, laugh, and decorate in the middle of this depressing time. Those carved pumpkins are the bomb.
