"Where Are the Pumpkins?!"
I asked the road super this morning.
"Removed to a secure location," he replied with a grin,
as he tested the mower arm, then left to attend to township ditches.
I walked the vine
Only the littlest fellow, not even previously mentioned, remains.
With four weeks to seriously catch up.

pumpkin protection - yet another service offered by your county/township
ReplyDeleteThis post sure brought a big grin to my face! Looks like not only you (and half the blogging world) are rootin' for those pumpkins to make it to Halloween! I love it when folks we don't even think care really do care about those little things in life.
ReplyDeleteNext year you have to grow giant pumpkins so no one will be able to pick one up and carry away. In the meantime, having a pumpkin guard is pretty nice. Does he watch over zucchini also?
ReplyDeleteThat man is a keeper. But you knew that.
ReplyDeleteHe has taken it home to make pumpkin soup.
ReplyDeleteMerle............
I guess he was afraid the others would disappear as well.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very smart road supervisor
ReplyDeleteProtector of sunflowers and pumpkins. His lips are sealed.
ReplyDeleteHe's a pumpkin bodyguard! I bet he was wearing dark glasses too, wasn't he?
ReplyDelete:)
He's not telling! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope that pumpkin does grow a lot in the next month! Maybe with the other ones gone he'll be able to get all the sun and nutrients he needs? I too would wonder where the others were securely being kept.
ReplyDeletebetty

ReplyDeleteThey are in a safe house with new identities.

I look forward to seeing the pumpkins in the grocery store each year with all their different shapes and sizes, the beginning of the fall season.
ReplyDelete"Walked the Vine." Reminds me of a Johnny Cash song....
ReplyDeleteWhat a fella!
ReplyDeleteWhat? He took the pumpkin? Is this good? I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
ReplyDeleteAh, Kay. You missed the previous installments, where the pumpkins grew large and lovely. Then one was liberated by a person known to both the road super and myself, to take to a grandchild. The super planned on making jack-o-lanterns to amuse hundreds of children. The last two now are in the Pumpkin Protection program.
Deleteawww pumpkins---love that little one--hope it gets a chance to turn that beautiful orange----just thinking today about making pumpkin soup again :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that he's got them safely under lock and key - ready for ALL the children to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteEating pumpkins and halloween pumpkins are two different species..A Halloween pumpkin does not make good soup or pie..
