As he was proudly driving home with his purchase he got this funny look on his face & he said "hmmm I wonder how I'm gonna get that bad boy out of the back of the van without those 2 little guys at the Market"? Well, our son came over to help but, let me tell you that was an ordeal. What he hasn't thought of... is when that pumpkin has seen it's better days it will have to be taken out of the flowerbeds & put SOMEWHERE! I don't know where that somewhere is but, I'm glad it won't be my problem & NOPE I'm not busting his bubble yet. Another day for that!
Here IT sits in all IT'S glory with a few other pumpkin cousins & a little witch. Notice sweet Ms Reba in the background.
Loved the color of this orange & white long pumpkin. Also has just a touch of green running around the back of it.
And this beauty is called a Cinderella Pumpkin. Often they are all green but, this one is a mix. This little darling is sitting next to my Bat Faced Plant. Yes, you heard me right Bat Face.
When you pull the flower up to look at it... a little face with ears. And I LOVE the color don't you?
And here's Ms Reba. She rules this roost for sure! She is twelve & a half years old & starting to slow down just a bit. But, she has been a joy in our life for sure. She is a Shetland Sheep Dog (known as a Sheltie & yes, they come from the same place as the Shetland Ponies). She loves to sit here in the bend of the sidewalk to the door & watch the world go by her kingdom.
A little WITCHY WONDER!
And last but, not least are a few flowers we thought were very pretty.
Hope you enjoyed the Outdoor tour & be sure & go visit Susan & the other girls playing (just click) Outdoor Wednesday!
You have a beautiful home and a great blog! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I am getting really excited to see where this will take me!!! take care...hugs, Chris
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute story about your neighbor and Honey!! I sometimes wonder what people are thinking when they have one little mum or pumpkin on their porch. I guess everyone is different, but gosh, aren't they inspired in the least?? lol!
ReplyDeleteLove the HUGE pumpkin. We had one like that one year and hubby had to ROLL it up to the house!! Yours is beautiful Such a bright orange!! And that Reba is recious. We had a collie growing up.
I remember seeing the Batface plant when I was flower shopping in the spring!! I ended up with the Candycorn plant~did you see that one?
Love all your flowers and decorations. Great job, Chalene!!!

Charlene, what darling pumpkins, wow and so big, I wonder if they gave that pumpkin an extra special boost during the season to make it so huge :0) God bless you I got your comment about my blog, unfortunately it is messed up a little because I added a four column to the blog and its a little off. Thanks for letting me know though, I would hate for it to be a mistake and not know about it. God bless ya.

Wondeful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
That is one nice big pumpkin for sure.
I haven't even bought one pumpkin yet.... I guess some of the bigger ones are already taken.
ReplyDeleteLovely decors! Great outdoor post.
ReplyDeleteMan alive that is a big pumpkin to move from vehicle to garden. Ms. Reba looks g-r-e-a-t next to the Big Guy. Nice job!

I love your fall vignette under the tree, Charlene.
ReplyDeleteMs Reba is a doll!!
I love the tall orange and white striped pumpkin. They are all great. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Rebekah
Oh so very pretty and whimsical. Love it.
ReplyDeleteAnd your dog is a beauty too.
Mine today is the Annual Jazz Festival in town. Come by if you can. CLICK HERE
Have a glorious Wednesday.
GORGEOUS pumpkins! And Mrs. Reba, she is the prettiest of them all.
ReplyDeleteYour story made me laugh. Let me hasten to add, your husband did a wonderful job. The pumpkin can be broken into smaller pieces when it's tome to go. If you compost, it can go into the compost pile. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteYour pumpkins are great but that dog is beautiful...love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Charlene,
ReplyDeleteI love the story about the competition between Honey and your neighbor! Your decorations look great! Love the huge pumpkin!
Your Miss Reba is a cutie. My cousin has two of them - Champ and Mitzi (brother and sister) and they definitely rule the roost. They are now either 12 or 13, I cannot remember.
Thank you for sharing your decorations with us!

Maybe you could call some shelter to come get the pumpkin to use in some from of cooking. One that large probably is not good for that. Nice fall post.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great. Your dog looks like my neighbor's dog.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! How many pumpkin pies could you make with that "bad boy"?
ReplyDeleteWonderful post!
Happy OW!!!
Nice fall decors. Such a huge pumpkin. (I haven't sen a giant one)
ReplyDelete"My Post Here"
wow! that pumpkin IS huge!! i love your header!
ReplyDeleteMy first visit and I just love your pumpkins! Your home and yard are so lovely and your puppy is just too cute!
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin definitely weighs more then Reba:) You can always take it into the house in pieces and cook it up. You would have pumpkin pie for a year. I think next year you should pick out some teeny tiny pumpkins just to make your husband laugh.
ReplyDeleteJoyce
Love your outdoor decor, that's what I took pics of this week and all my 'little' pumpkins were grown in our back garden :-) None as big as yours mind you!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a give-away this week too, hope you can stop by.
Hugs

Great fall decors, Charlene! Your home looks lovely especially with that beautiful new door. I so look forward to seeing you in Houston in a few short months my friend.
ReplyDeleteDiana
Gosh, I love all those pumpkins! Especially the Cinderella pumpkin, as it makes me think of the movie with Leslie Ann Warren. I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.....
ReplyDeleteYour home looks beautiful too =)
Take care....
Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteMs Reba is adorable & I love the front of your house!
ReplyDeleteGuess you won't have to worry about trick or treaters stealing that pumpkin!!! LOL
I like this concept. I visited your blog for the first time and just been your fan. Keep posting as I am gonna come to read it everyday!!
ReplyDeleteProps from the movie sets can come from a variety of sources. Often, after a film's premiere, the studio will auction off many of the props and costumes used in the film for the purpose of charity.
