| California's Largest Pumpkin Ever! |
‘Tis
the season! Not for hot cocoa and all that yet – rather, for hot CIDER and corn
mazing and pumpkining and all that.
Yes, we celebrate fall, too, over here on the
west coast – ‘cept our fall celebration also happens to be with an ocean view
here in Half Moon Bay, just south of San Francisco along the coast.
Fields
and fields and pumpkin farms of fields of pumpkins screaming their crisp autumn
orange against the blue, blue sky, and then LOOK, there’s the ocean! This is a
strange and almost magical combination for a native New Englander where our
fall is celebrated amongst rolling green mountains and syrupy Maple groves.
This
year’s bell of the pumpkin fest ball in downtown Half Moon Bay is the gorgeous
and gorged gord – the massive 1,775 pound super pumpkin – breaking all
California records and looking like a major steroid experiment gone wild.
The
most pressing inquiry in the group was the ever-curious: I wonder what happens
when it starts to rot? For we’ve all seen what a hot day can do to our relatively
puny pumpkins on our own front porches.
Hmmmm.
Pie
eating contests. Pumpkin carving. Costumes. It’s all here!
Namaste
& Three Pumpkin-y Cheers –Annie
