The pumpkin patch

I have never gone to a big pumpkin patch…and decided it was about time.
Let’s go.
After I got out of the car, I walked around before I got to the big patch.

First things first.  I passed through a tent with a display of Indian corn,

and already cut pumpkins of various sizes.
Nice looking, aren’t they?

Now get to work.

Grab a wheelbarrow. Pick any you like and take a hike around the patch.

There is one pumpkin, two pumpkins, and three.

There are a few crushed and mushed, but they had plenty to go around.

Over yonder, there are pumpkin man and pumpkin woman guarding their patch day and night.

Then there are those —-well— can I say––
Gone pumpkin crazy.

Look, look what do we have here?
A mammoth sunflower.
Yoo-hoo! It’s face, almost big as the wheelbarrow.

I got too distracted by the sunflower patches that
I started going taking pictures of it.

Right, where was I —-yes pumpkin shopping?

I bent down and grabbed a long steam of a cut pumpkin
Ow, there was little thorns…
Speaking of stems,
This is how the fresh grow in the field.

Now that I seen a nice variety, Should I get the white, green, or orange pumpkin?

One thing is for sure. You better get to the patch early because all the good pumpkins have been nabbed.
