2008
Every year my winery gets a gargantuan pumpkin to display in the foyer. My first year with the pumpkin was in 2008 as an intern. In 2009 and 2010 I was working for another winery that did not share the same festive enthusiasm for giant holiday decoration.
2011
In 2011 the pumpkin and I were reunited. I was happy to be back and I think he was glad to have me back.
I couldn't find a picture for 2012. I think it's because I was not in a festive mood that year. Which is really unfortunate and has turned into a life lesson and personal mantra: "don't be a Debi Downer - take a picture with the pumpkin, you'll be glad you did later when you are trying to complete your pumpkin chronicle." I'll work on shortening it later.
2013
Back in the saddle. 2013 was a great year, it was early, it was quick and it was smooth. Now it's time to think about all the pumpkin pie this baby could make.
This is the largest pumpkin in recent memory 1,508lbs. Thats a whole lot of pie.
Happy pumpkin November!
