When Patty Rheault plants pumpkins, she plants pumpkins! You can see by the photos today that she has more than a couple growing and a number that are already bright orange and ready for picking. There are still a few that have some ripening to go yet, too.

I think the best one of the lot right now though, is the one in the fourth photo. It just looks so perfect sitting there on the ground, attached to the vine yet. I'm not much of a gardener myself, but I sure can appreciate a good crop and it looks like Patty and her family will be enjoying numerous pumpkins from their garden.

This all reminds me of the Charlie Brown Halloween cartoon from the 60's, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Maybe the "Great Pumpkin" will make a visit to Patty's patch.

They's a comming

Oh how I love pumpkins! When my husband and I used to take our Fall vacations in October in MI, we always bought out decorating pumpkins there. They had special meaning because they came from Michigan.
I miss Michigan but I miss my husband more.:(

SHIRLEY; It sounds like wonderful memories of your husband that, I hope, puts a smile on your face.;O)

Most definitely, Mickill, thank you.:)

Fall in the Keweenaw is perfect! The cooler weather, colored leaves, pumpkin patches, everything just like in the storybooks I read as a child.

Forgot to add - Very nice pictures, I love all of them. Thanks!

The perfect pumpkin is just that!

I love pumpkin pie!! Some great looking pumpkins in that garden. The third one reminds me of Cinderella.

THANK YOU for these gorgeous colors!
I have 6 days off in a few weeks, was looking
forward to a good, long, deep trip into da UP, but
my new rescue dog is suffering terribly from
dermodex mange; looks like we will be staying home
unless a miracle happens to her...
I just love these autumn pictures you have posted;
thank you SO MUCH! :)

These look almost ready for chunkin.

Just a message about démodéctic mange. There is a new,
easier,,less expensive treatment available. You just put your
dog on the new 3 month oral flea tick pill. That's it. I just had a
lunch and learn from the company. I don't know if it is on label
or not. But it works.

A good indication Autumn is on the way (begins at 4:21 AM, Sept. 23).

I'm not a pumpkin flavor lover, but I do love
decorating with them. Pumpkins are one of the
awesome things about autumn!! Great pictures!

Nice pix, " my life is in shambles, I need pie!"

UC...you need some pumpkin chunkin. Toss it, dude.

Those are some awesome pumpkins!

THANK YOU, Stewart, for the mange info! I just
applied Advantage Multi today, but your info is
most interesting & appreciated! :) I have it
bookmarked; googled key words, I think I know the
pill med name!
