Pumpkins


A church on New Britain Avenue in West Hartford raises money by 
selling hundreds of pumpkins for Halloween every year.

The November 1 theme for City Daily Photo bloggers is "Heights."

    Looks like one of ours we regularly see each season. It's fun to watch children select their own pumpkin. I often wonder what happens to the unchosen at the end of Halloween and Thanksgiving.

    It's a good idea but I'd still probably buy them elsewhere.

    That is a LOT of pumpkins!! A familiar sight this time of year indeed! I guess it shows what a grumpy old geezer I am, but after seeing four kids through all the holidays for years, the only thing they bring me these days is RELIEF that I don't have to do it any longer!! Hope you have a great weekend, Jack! Enjoy!

    I just went to a pumpkin festival yesterday! All those piles of pumpkins make me hungry for pie.

    Churches around here do the same thing, including a Methodist church in Cedar Key. There must be a method to their madness!

    But I can't help wonder if you were ever a "Jack" O-lantern? Heh, heh.

    I'm amazed at all the intricate carving that goes on these days - not like the triangle eyes and spiky teeth of old!
    I always have a camera with me, Jack.

    We have a church here that has a rather large pumpkin assortment.

    Cool idea... I wonder what they do with the money they raise?

    Looks like a nice selection of squash. Most pumpkin sellers I've seen have been secular.

    Pumpkins are very popular in your country, here not so... we had a pumpkins market for a few years, then they gave up.
