We went to the pumpkin lady's house and picked out our pumpkins this week. We started coming here when our oldest two were very young. It's a small farm in the middle of the next town. (Think of the movie "Up".)
We go here for two reasons:
#1 The pumpkin lady leaves long stems on the pumpkins. We like our pumpkin stems long.
#2 The pumpkin lady always has Smarties in her apron. (She gives me Smarties too.)
I think I have a personal third reason...
The pumpkin lady has the coolest, frothiest white beehive hairdo ever. It's kind of a French knot in the back with mounds of white curls and white bobby pin intersections. I try not to stare; it's hard not to. She drives a tractor with that twelve-inch high beehive hairdo. (At Christmas she puts her tractor on the front lawn and decorates the whole thing with red and green tree lights.) She's in her seventies. I am impressed. She reminds me of my Grandma Warner who was a farmwife with white hair, aprons, and Smarties in her purse. 'nuff said.
Happy weekend. XoKelly
She sounds like the coolest farm lady! I wish we had a pumpkin lady around here. We have some great pumpkin farms but I bet SHE makes all the difference. Have a Blessed week.

That is sweet. I've seen my fair share of sugary beehives, and they are impressive. She must take a lot of pride in herself and her life. :)
