Pumpkin Patch

As the Summer slowly ends and the Fall creeps in I start to get excited for the pumpkin flavored treats that flood coffee shops and restaurants! Every Fall my family buys a pumpkin, empty's out the seeds, washes them and bets on how many seeds there are. Here's my brother, a few years back, counting the results.



Usually I lose. My guesstimation skills are minimal.

Without telling the rest of the family my brother throws a few seeds in the backyard in the hopes that something will grow.
This year, it did. Check out this little dooby that skooted its way out of the land.
My folks, who are losing most of their senses, didn't even notice this bad boy till it was almost full-grown.
