Got to the pumpkin & chrysanthemum ‘lot’ & it was sold out & totally empty! I couldn’t believe it. The next place was the country market down the road a bit & I figured they would be too expensive. We could see they definitely had pumpkins when we drove up. Perfect timing - pumpkins were on sale as they wanted to get rid of what they had. The big ‘carving’ pumpkins were a mere $2.00 each. Small (baseball - softball) size decorative little pumpkins & gourds were $1.00 each. We got 3 big pumpkins & 16 little ones. While inside paying, there was a ‘half bushel’ of pears from their property for $5.00. Mom has already peeled the pears & cooked them down. It was quite the haul!
It was misting the whole time we were there. The market cat came over to visit & then decided our (dry) car looked like a good place to be - I had the hatchback open so we could load pumpkins. The young woman who was on duty had to keep getting the cat out of our car - pretty funny. It’s a nice cat.
If you need a cat I have TWO that I can send you! As soon as the weather turns, they will be inside most of the time and will be at each others THROATS.
There goes more crockery and table lamps! Four AM ‘Caged Death Matches’!
Yeah - I wouldn’t do that to you, LOL!
