Jared and the Giant Pumpkin

Sometimes when my husband gets an idea, the best thought I can describe to you, that pops up into my mind is "here we go again." Because I have a dreamer of a husband. And sometimes they don't really pan out the way he originally plans. But thinking back now, I could say the same for myself as well as a few others. Some might say, "That's life".

So when my husband decided to plant 3 small "giant pumpkin" seeds in the rocks in front of my house I "pa-shawed" him and went on with my business planting sunflowers. Those little seeds did NOTHING all summer long, and was starting to think that they were duds. Then one by one a single little sprout popped up in its own individual spot. So cute. So pathetic. To tell people it was going to be a "giant" was kind of a joke.


But a joke it no longer is. Those little seedlings have made their presence known. And my sunflowers too!!! :o)

It's already over 100lbs. We're going to weigh it tonight to see how much for sure. So stayed tuned.

*ok, so he weighed it and it's only 70lbs. But Still! 70lbs! I look at it like a pregnancy. You gain the most the last trimester. Since we have a good two months left, bring on the weight!

And it IS a pretty color huh? I hope it doesn't fade as it "stretches" to larger porportions.
