Pumpkins


Today we went to Cooperstown. Every year they have a giant pumpkins weigh-off. The winning pumpkin was over a thousand pounds. The picture is the regatta, where they hollow out big pumpkins and people row them in a race. I am not making any of this up.

We first heard of this in a PBS special "Lords of the Gourd." As you can see in the background the leaves were approaching peak fall color. It was a beautiful drive except for the house we drove by with a sign "Jesus or hell- you choose." I hope the house next door to them goes up for sale so I can move in.
