Very postalesque composition and colours, as well the subject. Never heard before about this pumpkin hunt... it sounds fun, a good occasion to bring children to the nature!

picking pumpkins, is a US fun thing to do,, and is something that is real,, families like to do it,, and has no Repubican/Democratic controversy, yet

It probably does sound strange to people not from the states. Think of the family going out in the woods to find and cut down the perfect Christmas tree. So...what's the next best thing? Well, packing up a school bus full of kids and taking them to huge pumpkin patches to pick out thier Halloween Pumpkins, of course! I think kids absolutely it.

Gee Shirley, you're really cracking the whip with these postcards! Pumpkins & Fun - whatever will they think of next...
