So far in our neck of the woods I've only seen one lonely pumpkin sitting on a front porch. That poor little pumpkin is destined to rot before Halloween even gets here since the temps are still in the 80's here in Jersey.

Three of the local grocery stores already have pumpkins sitting in those big bins at 49cents a pound. The pumpkins look really small this year and I'm sure the price for them will be high again this year since we haven't had any rain.

Saw two houses yesterday decorated with cutesy pie stuff. Orange and Black ribbons, those stick scarecrows and plastic pumpkins.

A few more pumpkins showing up on people's front porches but that's about it so far.

A&P is selling big pumpkins for $11.99 each.................Ouch, a bit expensive to be buying one now as the squirrels around here would just chew it to bits before you even had time to carve it.
