A passion for pumpkins!
I don't know when my pumpkin obsession started, maybe as a child growing up in New England...fall didn't officially begin for me until I had my first bite of pumpkin pie. Picking out a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch was almost as good as my birthday. I love growing pumpkins, carving pumpkins, cooking pumpkins, writing about pumpkins and collecting vintage images of pumpkins.
