A Cinderella (Pumpkin) Story

It's still warm, sunny, and green in Tallahassee. But inside our grocery store, it looks like fall.

Last fall they had a few orange pumpkins. This year they went completely insane with every kind of pumpkin-like gourd imaginable -- yellow, green, red, and even some giant blue hubbard squashes. Those bizarre warty pumpkins are actually peanut squashes.

We spent a long time looking at all the wonderful varieties of pumpkins, but in the end we went with one brilliantly-colored Cinderella pumpkin.

Now our doorstep looks like fall, too.

Did Martha Stewart glue peanuts to the outside of those squash? (Squashes? squashi? I don't think Native American languages usually have the same plurals as English. Some even have a different ending for dual, verses plural. Woah.)
