Where I live, there is a great tradition. Every fall, since the 1960s, around this time of year pumpkins start...disappearing from fields and porches. Then, on an appointed night around Halloween, the high school seniors gather at the end of our street -- the top of a really steep hill -- smash them, and slide down on the goo.

Don't let a little girl sprinkle pumpkin seeds all over your back yard.One day you'll wake up and find huge vines have conquered your lawn, climbed over the fence, and taken over your neighbor's yard.
Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.
If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.
Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.
If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
This time of year is just so orange. The colors, crunch of leaves, the feel of it, the chill, so warm with nostalgia. Don't cha' just love it?
