Raise the song of harvest home!
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin...

I just love that old hymn! Your photos of the pumpkins are great...I like those gray, wrinkly ones the best!
ReplyDeleteRoy-the pumpkin photos are really nice. I will now have this song in my head, but I can't think of a nicer earworm.

Everywhere I visit it's pumpkin mania! We don't celebrate Halloween her to much of an extent but we do eat pumpkin! A roast dinner just isn't right without it. Great shots. Love the colour.
ReplyDelete...beautiful pumpkins. I love Halloween and the harvest...and everything that goes with it. It don't really know that hymn, but I liked it. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNow this gives me an idea...

ReplyDeleteNot living in the best squash weather up to now I didn't know that on one plant you can get different shapes and colours! How do they do that?
