Pumpkin Update! 7/15/17

I've grown my own pumpkins for the last 3 years, and this year's first is almost ready to be cut from the vine! I am growing 3 types this year. 

1. The giant kind you see at the fair. When I see the ribbon-winning pumpkins at the fair, my Halloween season officially starts! None of mine are growing on the vines yet, but it is getting flowers and I see bees out there every day.

 2. Mini pumpkins! These I think are technically not pumpkins, but they look just like them! A mini pumpkin is the first one that is almost ready to be picked! 

(hand in shot for size reference)

There is a 2nd mini pumpkin about the size of a grape tomato! 

3. Regular-sized jack-o-lantern pumpkins! These are the pumpkins I've grown every year! I planted seeds I saved from last year's crop. There are two pumpkins about the size of promotional mini basketballs or a decorative foam skulls from Michael's. They're still as green as watermelons, so they'll be much bigger by the time they're ready to be picked!

I am so excited for Halloween season this year!

Here are all 5 of my Pumpkin Carols (songs I wrote about pumpkins)!








I hope to someday make 7" records of my Pumpkin Digital 7".

Day 266 - Tired Little Ghost - 9/24/2015

Today's Thing-a-Day Thing is a new Halloween song!

From youtube:


A new song for the 2015 Halloween season!

Lyrics:

A tired little ghost followed you home tonight
It's resting in the corner of your room.
Not that you would notice if you looked for it
It makes the walls a subtle shade of gloom.

A tired little ghost followed you home.
A tired little ghost followed you home.

It's leaning back, relaxed, silently watching you
as you go about your daily life routines.
It followed you because it finds you comforting
and the rhythms of your life calm and serene.

A tired little ghost followed you home.
A tired little ghost followed you home.

ooo...

The ghost has decided it will stay with you
until your living days come to an end.
And on that day it hopes that you will notice it
and spend the next eternity as friends.

A tired little ghost followed you home.
A tired little ghost followed you home.

ooo...



I'll put it up on bandcamp sooner or later.

Anybody wanna hire me?

Pumpkin Patch

It's Autumn!

For a hundred-some days I've been growing pumpkins in my backyard.

 I have harvested 3!

That was the first one... up above there by the mixer. I'm pretty proud of them. I plan to carve them into jack-o-lanterns, saving some seeds, roasting some seeds, and just having an awesome Halloween season. I highly recommend it.

Last year I wrote a song about autumn, pumpkins, and harvesting them and stuff.

It's a pumpkin carol! You can buy it on my album of original holiday songs "Holy Days"!

You can buy it here! Click on one of those words and you'll find it! Or maybe the picture. I've never put a link in a picture before so I don't know if it worked.

Halloween is coming!
