April Fools in October.

I planted a pumpkin in front. It was a beautiful plant but produced NO pumpkins. Friends and family comment frequently on our large pumpkin plant in the front garden bed of our house.  The leaves were huge, green and impressive. But it is a beautiful, fruitless pumpkin plant. FINALLY it sprouted one pumpkin the first week of September.

This dumb plant was gorgeous but a HUGE disappointment. Friends and family have been patient listening to my incessant complaining about this ridiculous plant. Early yesterday morning as we were pulling out to go to early morning seminary Sierra said The pumpkin is orange!" I insisted that was impossible since I had checked the plant the night before. We were the recipients of an awesome practical joke/gift/early April Fools...during the night someone hid six pumpkins in my plant. I laughed all day and woke up again this morning with a smile. THANK YOU to whoever did this--it's now a favorite family story!!! (I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!!!)
