WAW (What A World!) Wednesday, 22 September 2016

The aforementioned pumpkin blossom DID turn into a pumpkin. As a matter of fact, the three pumpkin plants took over a sizable portion of the back border. They're still full of blossoms and the bees are happily buzzing 'round them.

pssssttt.... If you look closely at the window you'll see Reggie-cat (sometimes called "wedgie") checking out the back yard.

Up until late yesterday afternoon, we believed there was only one pumpkin and were rejoicing at the unexpected harvest from a late planting. Especially after the neighbors said theirs dropped off and died. ~ yikes! ~

The pumpkin we've been watching grow for the better part of this summer is about ten inches wide and the same in height. Nice and round. A very good size for a pie with perhaps enough extra to make some bread or soup.

Much to our surprise, on our way 'round the perimeter to finish our evening walk yesterday, we discovered a second pumpkin. And Oh What A Pumpkin! Made me think of Cinderella.

Check it out: about 14 inches wide by 18 inches high!

Both pumpkins have started to turn orange. Yippee!!!

I'm feeling truly blessed today. Hope your day is full of blessings as well.
