From bowling bowl to basketball, from dull yellow to burnt orange. Many thanks to the golden New Jersey sun and the bountiful rain.
But, what's this? A blossom on another long, streched branch of the pumpkin vine has started to turn into a baby gourd. Now that we've spotted another future Halloween pumpkin, we will be checking back in the backyard with high hopes.
