A margatini and a somethingelse-atini.
This is the picture from the bar where we drank the drinks:
The photo looks impressionistic.
There's the barn, the road and the pumpkins. I love me some pumpkin pictures.
What was funny, though kind of sad (sign of the times I suppose) is that I have been eye-balling (verb!?) those pumpkins for about a week, riding by this house. Each time I'd see those pumpkins looking at me, and I'd be looking at them, plotting my photo-taking efforts. I finally committed, pulling onto that road, making a turn-around, parking by the pumpkins and snapping the photo. Later that afternoon the pumpkins were gone. I figured the pumpkin keeper saw me, and thought I was 'up to no good' (nuther verb?) and brought the pumpkins into the house for safekeeping. Probably not a bad idea considering that if I drank enough of those margatinis, I might be brave enough to grab me a punkin and take off running up that road (for about 3 feet) until I was caught by the local constabulary aka the rancher, his rake and six chickens.

That's HILARIOUS that the pumpkins disappeared! Lovely pictures - looks like it was a nice weekend and I'm so envious every time you post a picture of the beach!
You were not wrong ... these are fantastic photos.
Thanks for the chuckles too.
The picture you painted of the pumpkin theft was priceless.
Punkin ranchers are notoriously selfish, as demonstrated by your post! And I can just see him siccing the chickens on you. Death by chicken.... one of the worst ways to go, I assure you!
(and my word verification? I kid you not:
kilinser. The proper description of a female's death by chicken. If they peck a man to death, it's peckeredhim. I think. No, wait. Let me get back to you on that one.)
I'm dieing of laughter b/c of your post and b/c of what the Bag Lady said above me. LOL! kilinser and peckeredhim!! rotfl. I'm glad you got your punkin photos before the punkin snatcher made his move. :)
want 4 each of the margatini and a somethingelse-atini! [do you have recipes for those??] the scenery around you is lovely - great photos!
I think you should print out this blog page, plus the photo and leave a copy for the Punkin rancher. You might make his day - certainly make him laugh? Or, death by chicken? eheheh - better than death by BLASTED word verification!
Mine is dines...perhaps he'll EAT you!!
oh - and print the comments too - bloody hilarious!!
:o)

Punkin Rancher...eeeeheeheee
*sorrry! too funny!*
Fantastic photos. I must be craving chocolate cuz I thought I noticed giant hershey bars on the roof of the barn.
OMG giant hershey bars?? everyone who comes to this blog is crazy whahaha - POD...I love this blog - I know things aren't funny all the time, but honestly, you crack me up some days - and oddly, it's usually when I am having a crap day. Like today.
bring on the giant hershey bars and the Punkin Farmers...I do believe I will have to make a trip to the US. Just so long as I don't have to meet The Magician [is beating someone around the head a crime over there?] I should be ok...
yes, my friend makes me sad, but also makes me happy - she is amazing - and makes me realise every thing and every day is great - even the things that make us cross...imagine if everything were perfect? hmm - tedium...
click on my facebook thingy [on the blog] - that'll REALLY give you something to write about! ;o)

PS: trumpi?? what's a bloody trumpi?? a musical frump?
After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked -- as I am surprisingly often -- why I bother to get up in the mornings.

Sorry, am getting all quotey lately...but your photographs make me think that you are feeling the joy of the universe again, through margatinis, your blog, camera, and your mind's eye.
they are fantastic.
I am a child.
I want more PODPICS.
