Quite a pile of pumpkins. Do they give them away after the holiday?
I asked that, but the women “on guard” didn’t have an answer. I wonder how many the squirrels get into. Thanks for stopping by, Ernie.
I’m betting a bunch lol. Have a great day Mary.
😀 this had me smiles.
I just want to pull out a pumpkin from the bottom and see what happens.
Ha ha. Roll on 😀
Happy Friday Mary! Love your picture 🎃 have a great weekend coming up! ❤️
Thank you, my friend. I hope the weekend is absolutely delightful for you.
wow, Mary, how cool! ❤
Thank you, Carol Anne. I appreciate you commenting.

So cute!
Lots of pie in the offing, Mary!
LOL. I like to bake but do use canned pumpkin. I leave that pile for the squirrels. Or pumpkin football.
I didn’t even know you could buy canned pumpkin. Probably not, here.
Play the pile like Jenga, keep pulling from the bottom to see if it collapses 😂
That’s what I want to do! Like minds. Thank you for commenting, Phoebe. Hugs to you!
🫂🫂 right back your way, Mary. 😘
Great shot, Mary! the question is, how many pies can you make wth that amount of pumpkins?😂🎃😂
My goodness, I’ve had many good questions about these pumpkins. I should have asked the guard who stood by the pile! Thank you for chiming in, Cindy.
I’ve always wondered if pumpkins other than orange taste the same.
Interesting thought, Melinda. There are different colored potatoes, beets, and carrots, and I do think there is a difference, especially in the beets. So, who knows?
It’s certainly possible because potatoes and sweet potatoes are nothing alike.
Right? You make a great point, Melinda. Happy weekend to you, my friend.
How cute! Belated Happy Halloween to you, GP.
It looks like you found a wonderful scene for a nice shot. Compliments for capturing such an inspiring moment with all those pumpkins🎃 gathered together.
Thank you. I’ve never seen so many pumpkins piled like that before. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
How does the little white pumpkin stay balanced on the top of the heap? How was it placed without disturbing the pile? A cherry picker? Nice pic, Mary! 🙂
Great questions, Nancy.
I had the same questions, Nancy! Even the top rows had to be tricky to position. How was it done without climbing on the lower pumpkins, which would make them shift? This structure is right up there with Easter Island for curious construction! 😁 (Thanks for sharing, Mary!)
Hello Nancy, You ladies have the most fabulous questions, and I have zip for answers. Thank you for chiming in!
Great analogy, Nancy!
I tried to cook pumpkin pie with my son’s teacher recipe and it was DELICIOUS!
Good for you! I make pumpkin pie, but I do use canned pumpkin. Did you use fresh or canned pumpkin?
Fresh. Here canned pumpkin is not so common, I don’t think I ever seen it in any store.
The hardest thing is the cut for me, I am weak 🙂
I understand. All squashes need to be cooked for a short time to be able to cut through them without getting wounded. Enjoy the weekend.
Yes, right, thanks!

A fabulous find and photo share! Love the one balanced on top. 🎃
Thank you, Michele. Have a fantastic weekend.
Will give it a go. 💃🏻 You too and thank you.
Wow! Beautiful. Our area got hit with roving Javelinas — who seem to love pumpkins!?!
I looked up javelinas, and I don’t think I’d like them wandering my home. They look scary, Gwen!
This pumpkin pile brought smiles! Thank you, Mary! 🥰
Great! Good to hear that, Lauren. All the best to you.
Have a great weekend! 🌷
👍😀
❤Delicious fruity morning, Happy November to you, my love
Thank you, Nougat. May this be a fabulous month for you.
I wonder what they are going to do with all those pumpkins!
This photo was taken at a strikingly beautiful public garden. Hopefully, they will use the pumpkins for animal feed or recycling. Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Shweta.
That’s good to know. Thank you for clearing that up, Mary
Oh, wow – so bright and colorful 🙂
Thank you, Ms. Marvellous. I hope you do something fun today.
Wow
Omg that’s so many pumpkins, were they for sale?
No. I don’t know if we could take a pumpkin without the stack falling apart. It’s fun to see all the questions from this photo. Hugs to you, dear Pooja.
It’s an interesting photo which I think would naturally lead to questions and conversations. It’s great that you captured it, it gave us all something to wonder about. Hugs.
Thank you, Pooja! Have a fantastic evening.
You’re very welcome and you too.
