Another year. Another wedding anniversary. Another weekend trip to a Nova Scotia inn. Not too far from home in case the teenagers in charge of the house run amuk and we have to return in a hurry.
So we're wandering through the town of Lunenburg, admiring the architecture, when I notice that one of the homes has pumpkins growing in the yard. I walk over for a closer look. Anxious to compare any visible pumpkins to mine. Convinced that my sincere little crop will measure up.
And then I see this . . .
A large orange gourd. Easily ten times the size of my largest pumpkin. Surrounded by several others not far behind in size.
I think it's best if I don't look at other pumpkins.

They probably planted a larger breed than you, dear. Don't worry. I'm sure your pumpkin patch measures up on the "sincere" scale!
Yup. Small but sincere. That's my new pumpkin motto.
LOL! You ladies crack me up! All pumpkins deserve love...no matter the size. :)
Sending more good pumpkin vibes your way.
Cheers!
It is impressive. But don't forget: you just started the pumpkins harvest business. One day you will have an army of Jacks for Halloween.
Eventually Your pumpkin will be THE best no matter of its size or color:)
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's pumpkins! ;o)
