giant gourds

I always thought gourds only came in tiny sizes.  

But a recent trip to the pumpkin patch taught me that they can also  be huge!

These gourds looked like giant green apples with watermelon skin.
I've never seen gourds like these before.

pumpkins, pumpkins, everywhere

last week we took the kids to a local pumpkin patch to get their pumpkins.
