Well, kids as well all know this is the last one before Halloween. We're supposed to do the Halloween costume themed thing next week. I don't really plan on doing anything for Halloween, although I might find a costume from a previous year or something. Anyways, I wanted to do something Halloween-esque this week too.
As regular readers know, my dad's fallen ill with cancer. But for, well, every year that I can remember, he planted and tended a large garden in the back yard. He planted it this year before he got to sick to take care of it. Mom took over that duty. But one thing he planted this year was pumpkins. About two weeks ago, mom and I were in the backyard, walking around the garden, and we found a few of them. This is me, with one of dad's pumpkins:
Yep, that's Uncle Polt and the pumpkin. It's HUGE. And that was a few weeks ago, I'm sure it's even bigger now. Papa Polt sure can grew 'em big, eh?

Your father's done a good job creating people and pumpkins. Tell him I grew them once, they took over the garden yet the actual pumpkins were no bigger than a golf ball.
ReplyDeleteHHNT
Prayers for you father. Sweet post, HHNT!
ReplyDeleteThat's a big one - I hope he knows that it is being admired all over the world now! Happy HNT.
ReplyDeleteGreat pumpkin! I think for next week's HNT you should carve it... after painting it purple, of course!
