Fall Pumpkins in a Wheelbarrow

Fall pumpkins in a wheelbarrow… reminds me of when I was little.

My parents would take me and my brother to a pumpkin patch to pick out our very own pumpkin. It was the highlight of the season, and probably why the fall is my favorite time of the year. My brother would dash off, running wildly towards the patch. Mom yelling at him to slow down and wait. He would always go for the biggest pumpkin he could possibly carry. He did not care about the color, nicks nor scratches, or if it even had a stem.

Me on the other hand, the perfectionist (I guess I should have known then) would look and look and look… until I found that perfect shape, that perfect stem arc, and the most perfect orange-colored pumpkin I could find. It would take me ten times the amount of time, but I wanted the most beautiful pumpkin in the patch. It was quiet maddening to my brother (tee hee).

Any ways, this Autumn Goodness Bundle with pumpkins in a wheelbarrow, takes me back to those sweet, childhood memories. Ones that makes you just smile and chuckle a little.
