Pumpkins come in all shapes and sizes. The Orange is visible and bright. Well it is a happy colour! A pumpkin can be left whole. Carved into whatever design you desire. The inside pulled out to reveal a empty innards. The seeds planted to make baby pumpkins next year or roasted in the oven to be eaten now. The pulp can be cooked and then mashed to make pumpkin pies or cupcakes. The rest put in the compost pile to nourish next year's garden. Sometimes a seed remains in the mix and a renegade plant will grow in a flower bed. Even Cinderella escaped in a carriage made from a pumpkin! And has a green one named after her.
Even as bunch, each pumpkin is unique. With bumps and flaws, big and small! Often a Nana can be heard calling her little grand kiddies- " her pumpkins:!
