Pumpkin Fun & Autumn Art
This giant pumpkin weighs 1517.5 Lbs. and was grown by Kevin Campanion of Huntington, Vt. It’s on Display at Whitcomb Farm in Williston, Vermont. I really wanted to sprawl across the top of it, but climbing on the pumpkin is not allowed, according to the sign on the left.

Seeds & Pods
Milkweed Gone To Seed
I love how shiny and silky these seeds look, as the wind spreads them to create more milkweed for next years Monarch Butterflies. Monarchs can’t survive without milkweed. They need it to lay their eggs on and their caterpillars only eat milkweed plants. The monarch butterfly population is in danger because milkweed plants are disappearing, due to loss of habitat stemming from land development and the widespread spraying of weed killer on the fields where they live. We can help monarchs by growing milkweed in our yards, fields, and gardens.
