The Party's Over



I mentioned in my last post that we went to Jordan's Farm in Cape Elizabeth on Wednesday.  They really do have glorious produce, and I can't resist their displays, like the old bathtub above full of pie pumpkins.

But what charmed the same part of me that's drawn to the most forlorn, Charlie Brown-lookalike tree on the lot every December were the jack-o-lanterns awaiting their demise after the farm's Halloween revelries.  

Charred, withered, and one short step from the compost heap, these guys had character.

Especially this one below, who reminded me of myself most mornings of late.

 
What?  You wanna piece of me?

  5. You know, I don't think I've ever seen a group of jack-o-lanterns that looked so real. They really do have personality.

  13. Hee hee..so cute!
    There is a winding road in the trees, not far from where I live where people line up their pumpkins on the side of the road after Halloween every year. They have been accumulating over the past week, and I swear, I am going to run my car into a tree one of these days as I can't help but look over and giggle at all the funny faces!
