One of my favorite fall movies is... "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." And every year we sit down as a family with a gigantic bowl of popcorn and watch it. There are lots of words of wisdom to be gleaned from movies such as this... one of my favorites being... (Linus) "Never jump into a pile of leaves with a wet sucker."

Today it was raining all day... and I had a horrible migraine... and things just weren't working out as easily as I had hoped. I was beginning to despair of finding a photo for the day... when it occurred to me that the Catholic church here has a garden behind the church buildings... and I was thinking I would perhaps get a flower picture or some such in between the raindrops. However... when I got there... I was amazed to find a small pumpkin patch... worthy of the Great Pumpkin himself!
What a great finish to my day... some times ya just get lucky :)
