Pappy's Pumpkin Patch

For the last few years Pappy has been planting pumpkins in his garden for the grandchildren. Yesterday we had to go to Gettysburg for Brady's orthodontic appointment. Our first stop was Pappy's pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins.
The pumpkin flowers are all but withered and gone.

Brady uses one of Nana's kitchen knives to cut our pumpkins from the vine.




We picked this little one especially for Kaden.


Hey Maren, you're right! My camera does have the micro and super micro mode! I finally learned how to use it, and was practicing with what I found in Pappy's yard and garden.

I miss our garden! I also miss being able to have carved Pumpkins for decorations outside! It's too warm for a jack o latern to last longer then 2 days! I'd love to know more about your new camera feature. Share!
