Friday Fun..Pumpkins

Good morning Kathy,

I stopped carving pumpkins years ago but always take some pumpkins to Hudson and Beckett to carve. I love what they do...always fun!

I don't know about carving pumpkins, but I sure do love pumpkin rolls, haha.  FYI, something seems to be wacko with your blog signature, maybe it is just on my end though.

Good morning Kathy. Must say no carving this year but a visit to a pumpkin farm is planned for this weekend with the grandkids. Enjoy your day.

Hello Kathy - while I know there are many fans of all things pumpkin that have stretched my sense of imagination, I still enjoy seeing pumpkins piled high in places they gather this time of year (like grocery stores and plentiful patches).  They are full of possibilities. But not for this guy who isn't to be trusted with a carving utensil.  

So, I love pumpkin pie. When the season starts I know I will be able to get the canned pumpkin (not doing it from scratch) and make a pie  :)

No carving here, we did go to a pick your own pumkin place on Sunday with friends, walked through the Corn Maze and then lazily chose from the already picked pumpkins and gourds. 

Kathy, Pumpkin carving has always been a family tradition for us. As a matter of fact, I found my pumpkin carving tools hidden in one of our kitchen drawers the other day and have it ready to start the fun!

I use to carve pumpkins when my kids were at home.  Later in life now, I have opted for ceramic or "faux" pumpkins.  I put some on my porch this morning.

CONGRATULATIONS Kathy, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Clubgroup!  

We will not be carving any pumpkins at our house. Chef Dolores prefers the convenience of pumpkin in cans.

Thank you, Kathy Streib, for sharing your delightful reflections on pumpkins; they truly capture the fun of the season! I love making pumpkin bread, so I appreciate your reminder of the delicious possibilities that come from using those carved pumpkins!

Hello Kathy, I had carving pumpkin parties back in 2014 to 2018 for friends and some clients.  We got away from the parties at Covid hit.  As for now, no, do not get pumpkins anymore.

We don't carve as we don't get any kids in our neighborhood. Tomorow, however, is the Pumpkin fest up town and there will be all manner of creativity on display.

Hi Kathy,
Would you like some of my nachos?

Hi Kathy:

There is an amazing array of pumpkins - shapes, sizes, colors, warts, etc.  We no longer carve pumpkins but know that all the grandkids will. We're looking forward to photos. No doubt the local pumpkin patch is doing a great business right now!

I love these knucklehead pumpkins!

Jeff

Kathy, I haven't bought pumpkins for years, and have been so busy since I got back, have not noticed any in my neighborhood either.    

Kathy, pumpkins much like people come in many shapes and sizes, even the ones that look like they have warts.   🤣

Kathy, I will not be carving.  I have already been out and cleaning the needles and leaves you see pictured in my Friday Flag post.  Those get stuffed into Orange pumpkin bags every year to line the drives and frame the different areas I decorate.  Obviously pics to follow.  lol   m

There is no pumpkin carving here.  The Phoenix heat isn't kind to pumpkins.  And we have these pesky civilians that like to come by and eat them, leaving a mess behind!

I love pumpkins....pie, latte, or as a flavor. I enjoy them as decorations too
