And then FALL hit!!! It was painful having to wait for the end of September to buy mums for my empty, languishing, front door urns, but I knew if I bought too early they'd be toast by mid-October. But then one warm fall day, I could take it no more, so off my trusty sidekick and I went. We came home with two lovely yellow mums that perk up the front door considerably.

Uhhhhh....what's up with the modly pumpkins! They look like they have warts!
Actually, they're not moldy! The bumpy texture was originally caused by a virus or bacteria that attacked pumpkins, but the warty look was so sought after that they eventually turned it inot a new varietal.
Odd tidbits you pick up when you read too much...
Ewww, the look is sought after?!? Not by me, let me tell ya!! Give me a nice, clean, blemish free punkin'....like Ben! ;-)
Georgy farm stand! Reminds me of Mann Orchards in Methuen. We're going there today as a matter of fact! :)
