Pumpkin Time

Pumpkin season is upon us. Youth groups will be selling them all over town. Remember when pumpkins for fall and Halloween were mostly orange? Well, for several years now, it has been almost as easy to find an ornamental pumpkin as it is the more traditional, orange one. The above assortment was for sale at Sprouts on Battleground Avenue. Not only the grocery stores but the farmers markets and local farms will be selling them. This will be a good weekend to get one while the selection is still good, and, if you don't cut it, it will last through the end of October and longer.
