Monday Madness

How maddening is it that I don't have a pumpkin yet? I love pumpkins and I have yet to get around to getting one! Halloween is in less than a week and I have nothing to show for my holiday spirit. I went to Trader Joe's yesterday, but all they sell are pie making pumpkins, and I most certainly do not want one of those. I do have a mini pumpkin at work, but nothing at home.

I'm not sure that I want to carve said pumpkin, but I definitely want to have one. Last October I got a pumpkin in Vermont, which I did not carve, and it lasted, rot-free until February (well maybe not really that long, but it was a really long time). I would love to have another amazing ones this year, but I'll settle for whatever I can find.

I have to walk past the farmers' market today (poor me, right?) on my way home, and I'm hoping they will have a selection, even if it's not the best. I also need to get flowers for a friend's birthday today, so hopefully the cold hasn't scared the farmers away yet!
