Small, variegated squashes draw me to artwork hidden at the bottom of a bin.
Each squash looks hand-painted, showing off its colors with its own distinctive style.
And that's just one variety... |
Pumpkins large and small, of every shape and color, await the eager eyes and hands of every passerby.
Shoppers fill their arms with this year's harvest while imagining all the places pumpkins will look nice around their homes.

I don't think I ever realized how many kinds of squash and pumpkins are available—some just never make it to the supermarkets.
Even dry gourds devoid (almost) of color, impress me with their shapes alone.

But if all this were not enough to pull me off the road, the way these pumpkins are displayed on old and rusty antique cars makes stopping irresistible.
My favorite stand in Keremeos, BC, is 4th generation, Parson's Farm Market.

They've been selling pumpkins since 1910 and have more than a dozen old cars and tractors which they use to show off all their wares.
Happy pumpkin hunting! I hope the farm markets near you give lots of choices for your pumpkins this year.
By the way, my Ayurvedic doctor says that eating pumpkins can lead to serious skin disease. So Jack-O-Lanterns only for me please. |
As many of you have noticed, I decided to cancel my order for the 2009 calendars because there was not enough time to iron out some issues with the printing. I apologize for the inconvenience. You can read more on my blog.
