The pumpkins are delivered in these large
containers by a big semi
There were only two containers of these smaller ones
A Gazillion pumpkins!
Our monster slide...the real attraction of this lot!
Well, at least it seemed like I unloaded that many. Cecile started out helping me with some of the smaller ones but her fibromyalgia quickly told her that she probably should not continue. A gazillion is probably a slight overstatement. Doing a very rough count, it is probably more like 1600-1700. Plenty though, when you consider that you have to reach over the sides of the containers and lift them out. If I was to just pull the sides off the containers, it would cause too much bruising and breaking. Luckily that was the last heavy physical work that I will have to do...at least until it is time for Christmas trees.
Today is our second day of being opened and, amazingly enough, people are wanting to come out here and buy pumpkins and play on the slides in the rain. Go figure!
Ain't life grand?

So my question is this: Does the white chair get moved from box to box as you unload? A resting place until the next box gets unloaded? Great pictures, though, and beautiful pumpkins. I guess it really is fall and summer's over!
How many pumpkin recipes have you collected? Are you so very pumped up? Are you bringing some home in Nov? Great shots!
