I love... and pumpkins

I'm a little horrified. I have a giant volunteer pumpkin plant in my backyard. It has spread out to several feet wide and probably 4 or 5 m long. It came to my attention yesterday that the little green pumpkins on there will never turn into the orange jack-o-lantern like pumpkins I was expecting they would. Apparently, they will stay green. Who would have thought!

Inspired by the Pioneer woman, I thought I'd follow her lead with an I love blog. I love:
