Sarah D and Mary Pushed My Pumpkin off the Porch
Sarah D. and I drove out to the countryside one fine day to pick out our very own Haverford House pumpkin for Halloween/Fall Celebrations. We walked from pumpkin to pumpkin, trying to pick the perfect one. I was going for size, while Sarah D was going for shape. We compromised on a medium-sized pumpkin that was almost perfectly round. We named her Sindiswa and she was 16.4 pounds. We were going to carve her into a Jack O’ Lantern but then someone (cough Sarah D or Mary) tried to balance her on the porch railing and she toppled to the sidwalk below. It’s ok though because someone carved one of the pieces of her into a very nice rendition of the Philadelphia skyline, or at least I think that is what it’s supposed to be.
Anyways, here is our photographic journey:
Sarah D and the pumpkin we finally chose!
The pumpkin orchard also had a little petting farm, which I of course made Sarah D. go to.
Luckily for me, the exchange of duck spit was ok, because it’s swine flu and not avian flu that we gotta be worried about this season.
George Washington Duck.
I love ducks!
