I Just Can't Help Myself...
I was driving back home to the Turbopup's & Izzy's New Skiatook Lake Compound from Tulsa yesterday afternoon when I spotted this sitting beside the road at a local Nursery/Garden Supply...
....and as you can see I bought it and had it hoisted into the back of the Cadillac.......
...YES ladies and gentlemen...
that would be a 93 POUND pumpkin.
Historically gourds of this size are very hard to find in my experience unless you live in a rural area, and that basically describes our new location now.
And of course my long time blog readers may remember that I had a near-death experience back 6 or 8 years ago wrestling with carving an even larger pumpkin...one weighing...get this...
...near ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY POUNDS.
So any way, I'm on a mission now to carve this sucker and display it somewhere for Halloween.
Maybe in the lobby of my new office building, or possibly at the Chamber of Commerce or the Foyer of some local school.
I don't need it on my front porch because just like the last three places we've lived there are hardly any children...just old people.
Regardless, I'll keep you up to date on my progress...probably starting a week or ten days before Halloween.
Regard's Y'all...
