Happy Halloween! Unlike some people, I’m not into the spooky aspect of this holiday and try to avoid the candy aspect. With grown kids we no longer have occasion to get into the creative costume aspect either these days. But I love pumpkins, even though we neither bought one nor grew any this year.

I love all the different types and colors, and love the personalities of their shapes and dispositions. I even love their stems, with all their quirky posturing and revealing texture. So here today, let’s celebrate the pumpkins.

Check out below some of the beauties I’ve been appreciating. Above is the house two down from our church in Ridgefield, decorated for the occasion.
