I can feel it in my heart, and see it on the calendar, Fall is near. But the weather (California) would not be my indicator.
So what’s a girl to do? Get a visual, Paint a pumpkin, so I dd.
But what a lonely pumpkin. I felt sorry for it, just like the one (yes ONE) growing in my garden. I have never known a vine to produce but one pumpkin.
I could not do anything more than feel bad for the lonely pumpkin in my garden, but my painting did not need to live alone, it would have a whole ‘patch’ of friends.
So I painted pumpkins, lots of pumpkins,
painted with friends and they too have pumpkins.

Now it looks like Fall in my home and I am happy.
