Weird Pumpkins

Here are some of the weird pumpkins I have encountered. First, the white ones. What's up with that? Can you even eat them? I have never seen a white pumpkin pie.

This one is made from a bale of hay.

This man lives a couple blocks away, and grows award winning pumpkins for the largest in the state.

Here is Anne Marie sitting on one.

Last year, I had the girls make a spider and web on their pumpkins. Kind of fun for all their ages.

This pumpkin has been hollowed out and used as a vase.

Little Jazz didn't know that she had it upside down.

We saw this in a store window. A crone pumpkin.


So there is the lot. Weird, wild, and wonderful.

“Our chair a broad pumpkin, our lantern the moon,
Telling tales of the fairy who travelled like steam,
In a pumpkin-shell coach, with two rats for her team!
~John G. Whittier

Those web and spider pumpkins are cute. Now I'll be wondering if you can eat a white pumpkin.

Whenever I see pumpkins that big I think of chemicals and steroids. *haha* What IS he putting on those pumpkins?! And will it get in the food supply?! If your shoe size is all of a sudden size 12, go find the pumpkin man for answers!! :-D

It's a good thing that guy has his pumpkin collection out in the yard. I don't think they would fit through his front door!

I've seen the white pumpkins too. I can't imagine how pale such a pie would look.

Tanya Breese said...

I don't think I've ever seen a white pumpkin either! I think you showed that guy that grows huge pumpkins last year didn't you? Seems familiar to me! The girls are adorable!

Rose said...

Oh, my, there are some fun and some strange pumpkins...and I love them all.

Ann said...

I see all kinds of pumpkins with gnarly bumps and all but never a white one. Interesting photos you around everywhere. To answer your questions on our church program, we go to a conservative christian church that is non-denominational.We have three services each weekend to serve all the people. You might be able to pick me out in the photo--I'm on the right side--3rd row up. About 8 people from the end, I've got my head down for some reason and wearing gold.

It is wonderful to see that one can have so much fun with pumpkins. I like the one made from straw, so cute! I like the girls' spider and web pumpkins and little Jazz having it upside down. The crone pumpkin is a scary one!

Sandi said...

Love the giant pumpkin yard! Is that all on one vine? We grew them by mistake one year when I was a kid. A vine sprouted from our composte pile!
