Its October Pumpin Month
Here in Canada we celebrate two special occassions in October: Thanksgiving and Halloween.
A pumpkin represents two possibilities to aid in our celebrations; the possible outcomes being Pumpkin pie for thanksgiving dinner or handsome Jack for a Hallowe'en night Jack O'Lantern.... So your choice is "yum, yum," or "Eek!" Deciding which occasion you would favor foe a pumpkin use just feast your eyes over these local beauties seen at the local supermarket which you can buy for $3.99.
I prefer buying several pumpkins to serve as seasonal decorations to line the side of our little cement sidewalk which leads up to the door on our front porch. However with my plans for decorations comes the risk of having to scrape the pumpkin parts off of the street in front of my house the next morning as often they are taken from our sidewalk path and smashed on the street sometime during Hallowe'en night.
