Halloween – The Appreciation of the Orange Pumpkins
Each year as we get more creative with our Halloween and fall decor, we sometimes forget the basics…like orange pumpkins!
When I was a kid, orange pumpkins were the only type we ever bought…Who knows, maybe they were the only available kinds of pumpkins way back when. Nowadays, we have so many varieties to choose from that I think we tend to overlook the classics.
Today, let’s appreciate the simplicity and beauty of those traditional orange pumpkins!
Sometimes, that splash of orange is all you really need to make a porch festive for fall or Halloween.
After all, orange pumpkins are what you would expect to see at a farm stand.
Imagine how plain this great pumpkin display would be without the huge orange pumpkin…
