Pumpkins, like squash and melons, are easy growers. You have to almost pay people to take the extras away. :)
The white ones are becoming popular over here. The first ones to arrive were called (appropriately) ghost pumpkins and albino pumpkins. It is 100% an American holiday of sorts, although many do not celebrate it. Like most other things, I don't read into the witchcraft or spooky stuff, but, a reason for kids to dress up and have fun. Watching movies usually happens the closer the kids get to be a teenager.
Hi @jacoalberts !! Thanks so much for reading the post and dropping the link! Much appreciated!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Hahaha...yes, that sounds about right!
Yes, I'm also not into the witchcraft or spooky side of anything (Halloween included), but if the kids can have some harmless fun, that's great👍!
Have a great weekend, @dswigle!!
Me either. It is just not my thing. If it weren't harmless, it wouldn't be in my house, but, honestly, there is more harm in the powers that be in trying to lump it into that category than it was to just leave it how it has always been: A fun way to dress up and impress each other with their costumes.
Thank you! I hope your weekend is great too!
I agree with you 100%. And what I find most disturbing is that those powers to be, are specifically targeting our children! That is what I appreciate about what you are saying...it is good for the kids to have fun, but we as adults need to be involved. We need to know what the kids are exposed to.
Like you, I'm open to having good fun, but when you start messing with my kids (and now grandkids too), things can get ugly...
You're welcome and thank you!
Absolutely! I am not one of those free-range parents. I agree 100%
👍
