The Great Pumpkin Debacle

Today was the day, we were finally going to head to the cider mill and get our pumpkins and apple fritter.  As usual, our friends Pat, Jenn and their son Evan came-up to join us.  We wandered into the pumpkin patch and all noted that there were far fewer pumpkins that in previous years.  Wandering the aisles we soon realized that the pumpkins that remained were rotted.  We walked away empty handed.  The massive amount of rain we received in September reeked havoc on our local pumpkin crop.  The upside, we still got to enjoy donuts and cider and Evan provided some comic relief by plopping down in the middle of a rotten pumpkin, not once, but twice.
