Beer belly, Sept. 10

Bought a big t-shirt just for the pumpkin (and still had to cut it up the back) at Fleet Farm. Where you also can buy a John Deere hat for your dog. And the men's beer-themed fleece is now on sale.

Crushed, Sept. 9

What happens to pumpkin thieves.

Houdini Pumpkin, Sept. 8

Also from the garden

The pretty sunflower that I was trying to have the pumpkin imitate a few days earlier. Thought I'd give you the real thing instead.

Sleeper, Sept. 7

Finally saw "Inception." Wish we could give the pumpkin the idea that it should grow twenty or thirty pounds a day.

Days of Summer, Sept. 6

Those are oversize sunglasses, BTW.

Aspirations, Sept. 5

I really tried today but it just didn't come together -- I was attempting a sunflower but it just looked like a first-grader had put it together (more so than usual). So this is what we have.

Hypnopumpkin, Sept. 4

Chill out, Sept. 3

The General Pumpkin, Sept. 2

I just saw "South Pacific" starring Tom Wopat as Emile De Becque. Tom Wopat as in Luke Duke, who I was completely in love with as a kid. My friends and I used to play "Dukes of Hazzard" during recess until we started fighting over who got to be Daisy.

Oh, no! Mr. Pumpkin! Sept. 1
