An after school meeting saw me pulling into the grocery store a little before 7 pm last night. I grumbled at myself for putting off this errand: buying thank you cards that my after school club needed to write at our meeting the next day. The skies were a picturesque blend of pink and black and there was a slight breeze that promised another crisp fall night.
I walked towards the entrance to the grocery store which was lined with pumpkins. I paid them little heed, distracted by the little boy hopping in front of me.
“Come on,” his mom called, a smirk on her face. “There are even more inside.”
His little eyes grew wider and I smiled.

I was entering the grocery store yesterday and I too was tempted to pick out a great pumpkin from the display. Temptations galore! I guess that temptation was better than the Halloween candy – I said no to both!
Just one of the reasons I enjoy this time of year.
Kids love pumpkins so much ! My own want their pumpkin on the porch on October 1. Every day I have to tell them why we can’t carve it yet. They want it anyway.
Excellent small details: the sky colors, that boy’s eyes. Enjoy the season.
I loved hearing about the pumpkins. Fall is my favorite time of the year and it was sweet hearing about your specific encounter with the season 🙂
Did you buy one? I love the pic and this small moment!
