The Annual Halloween Mini-Pumpkin Decorating Contest of 2009 ramped it up a notch. I wish I could remember who won.
I thought mine was quite creative. It was intended to be an appetizer of “Carved Pumpkin”. I think it was an intern who added a bit more to mine. There should have been a number to vote for the two of us together, him with his fork and me with my knife.
In the office I worked in back in 2008, we had mini-pumpkin decorating contests each Halloween. Thank goodness it wasn’t carving! I would not have done well, and I tend to do unintended damage with knives.
The competition was fierce…
If I remember right, the hamburger won…
But I still think I did okay…
It’s that time of year! Delightful smells, gorgeous colors, and festivities everywhere.
Kalamazoo has a treasure this time of year in all of the farms with fun activities, treats to eat, and tours to tantalize. We are fortunate to have many apple farms, fruit stands, and corn mazes. Since my brother has an autumn fruit stand, I don’t much get around to the others. Yet, they are all of value no matter if they’re mostly for fun or muchly for games.
One pictured here is JUST for pumpkins! And it’s NO fruit “stand”. It’s an all out farm with ONE product for ONE month of the year. Honestly, I haven’t purchased much here, but I sure do enjoy getting great shots of pumpkins galore. I also appreciate that it’s a centennial farm, just as our family farm is over 100 years old as well.
If you’re in Kalamazoo, check out some of the great autumn fun, smells, tastes, and colors.
Oh, Autumn,
how I adore thee.
The scents are
the most divine.
The bold reds,
golden yellow,
and spicy pumpkin
shades all around.
Freshly slain grass,
and
dying leaves.
Oh, Autumn,
how I adore thee.
YOU are the news now...
