PUMPKINS = FALL

I’m not a big fan of Halloween, but I love decorating with pumpkins in the fall.  I also love gold spray paint–it’s kind of a thing in my life right now.

The big creamy colored, um, thing is called a cushaw.  I’m kind of wondering if it would taste good, like spaghetti or acorn squash…

I didn’t want the stems to be painted so, I used painter’s tape to cover them up.  This was the most painful part of the process, and I wasn’t able to completely cover the bottom of the stems.  My OCD was twitching.

The finished product. Flowers in mason jars make everything better.

I’ve had some tiny pumpkins on our mantle for a few weeks, and I thought I might as well paint those, too, while I was at it.
