Fall Thanks

I have another Fall card to show you today. I'm using an image from Gerda Steiner Designs. It's September's progressive challenge image of a boy with a cart full of pumpkins.

I loved this image the second I saw it, because it reminded me so much of my childhood. Every year my father would plant a HUGE garden. Since the garden was so big he would give me two rows to plant whatever I wanted. The rule was I had to do all of the work, but in the end I could do whatever I wanted with what I grew. One year I chose to plant pumpkins. I worked hard weeding and watering them. Finally harvest day came. I picked all my beautiful pumpkins, loaded them in a wheelbarrow and pulled them up the driveway next to the sidewalk. Next I dragged a picnic table up and set a few of my best looking pumpkins out on the table. I then held up a poster board sign with crayon writing announcing that the "Best Pumpkins Ever" were now for sale! I don't recall how much money I made, but I sat out there for hours each evening trying to sell pumpkins to passerby's. It is one of my favorite childhood memories of Fall.
