Many Sunday afternoons after work, we stop by Sterino's Produce Stand to get produce for the week. There is always something on sale for a great price and for the last couple of weeks, all pumpkins have been ninety- nine cents each regardless of size so we had to go! Pumpkins look great through Thanksgiving!
I forgot both my phone and camera so Tom took these pictures with his phone. Saturday was very busy with hauling furniture out to the greenhouse. I even got some bulbs planted between showers! Today we decided to string lights on the tops of the trusses and only got partway done before dark.
I picked up a smallish pumpkin for soup and also picked up some other squash (fifty cents a piece) and a bunch of root vegetables to make another soup. Summer is definitely not lingering this year (where did it go?) so hearty soups will be on the menu in many households I'm guessing.
I was also thrilled to find gourds for fifty cents each and just picked cabbage at three for a dollar!
Did I mention cauliflower for fifty cents a head? Notice that huge truck on the right? Full of more pumpkins!

These fellows have pumpkin seed packets in their pockets so they must have planted all of these.
They're still smiling after all that work.
Wishing you a week as happy as these scarecrows look!
