I love your latest little book! Now, the question is, does the size of the pumpkin that got away get bigger every time Grandpa tells the story?? (I'm guessing it does.)

I'm smiling as I read your wonderful comment!!! Yes indeed- the pumpkin not only gets bigger every time grandpa tells the story the pumpkin goes on to have many other wild adventures. Grandpa knows what happened next with the pumpkin because a little bird tells him...😁😉💚💚💚💚💚💚

Lovely words and pics. I had a pumpkin patch again in our garden this year- what a gift- 5 pumpkins, one big mama - I’m so delighted.

“It does our hearts good, I think, during stressful times especially, to remember and celebrate our abilities to create and enjoy life together. And it's true that life isn't ever perfect and sometimes the pumpkins get away but it's all we've got. We're all we've got.” Perfect! 🎃🥰
