It's the Great Pumpkin

Perhaps you recall the great pumpkin wish from last fall....

Well, it appears they do come true. This is the fruit, er, vegetable of Kaelan's labor. There were actually about 10 really great pumpkins that came from her planting, but only one survived the driving rains, possums, frogs, ants, and blazing Texas heat.

She couldn't be more proud of her great pumpkin.

And yes, that is hot glue near the base of the stem. Poor little guy had a wee hole from his weak vine. We just wanted to ensure he makes it until the real fall season visits Austin.

Which, by the way, could be December.
