RE: You're my honey bunch, sugar plum, pumpy-umpy-umpkin!!!

You brought me an abundance of pumpkins!! Orange ones, white ones, even blue and white! I am in Pumpkin heaven!

Throws you a Tootsie.

What a great trip that must have been! I remember last fall when you were on the East Coast, am I right? Your daughter is so freaking beautiful, and talented too. I hear she is nice too. The whole package! What more could a parent ask for? That rose was stunning! Did she freehand that or use paper from the kits they sell? I am a cheater and an untalented one at that, so I use the kit.LOL

BTW Orange and white pumpkins taste almost exactly the same. I know, I cannot make myself bite into it, but, if I only had that left to eat or starve, I might be able to. We do what we have to. Pismo Beach is the best! Look at those pumpkins! Bejeweled ones! You are another day closer! Are you leaving tomorrow? Or next week? @bluefinstudios mom has a cup like that? Isn't blue and white china gorgeous? Okay, even porcelain, or pottery!

Storage is always a real problem! I really loved that tree and your whole post, in fact, ~ Love~!! You certainly have pumpkin love and it makes me want to make a pumpkin cake tomorrow. I froze some pumpkins that we harvested last fall, you know, for the leaner times when the fresh pumpkin would run out! Well, you are such a great sport, and thank you for being part of the challenge! I cannot remember, did you drop the link on my post?

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world. Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
