I love pumpkins, they're so representative of the fall season, as well as just a playful and a varied fruit. They actually fall into the same family as melons and cucumbers.
You can get tiny ones, large ones, you can decorate them, smash them, paint them, bake them, steam them and can them so many fun things to do with pumpkins.. Most of the pumpkin is edible.
No matter their legends or uses; pumpkins ALWAYS remind me of fall and are a nostalgic memory trigger for my childhood. How many of you have the same memory trigger?
