Waiting for the Gourd

                   "Hello, Gourd-geous…." - Chef club

Hello pumpkin...….no not the furry one in the greenhouse window......

The weather is changing...….

Cosmos is bursting out of its soil. 

And that, which I thought was a watermelon, is growing rounder by the day.

Buddleia  still draws in the bees. But the butterflies have all gone for the season.

The Greenhouse  is cleaned out.  Even the toilet planter is waiting to hold empty pots for winter.

But the pumpkin still grows.  Still thrives. Little ball of  fall.

"I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one." -Linus, It's the Great Pumpkin

And the Dahlias bloom and bloom. Last of the  flowering things. Has been a weird year for flowers.

But the pumpkin lays happily in the dirt.  I wonder how far  it will go. How long it will sleep in its bed of  sea soil.

Kind of wondering how long will Rona the Cat Plant sleep in his pot. He's a lot like the pumpkin. Round. Golden. Round.

Last of the roses make a valiant effort to re-bloom.

"It's the Great Pumpkin rising out of the Pumpkin Patch..." - Linus, It's the Great Pumpkin

Almost as big as a shoe. Wonder how big it will be by Thanksgiving...….Pies , Muffins, Pies......maybe one Pie...…
