Today I made the oddest discovery...These were quite unusual rocks, smooth, pale honey-colored, hiding in my garden bed. Upon closer inspection, they were not rocks at all but dry, hollow elongated orbs. Oh my, here were last year's pumpkins, all nicely plump just as they were as october fruits. the small vessel has a few cracks and holes and is just a shell of its former self,however, the second squash provided the seeds for my  hallowed harvest this fall. the great gourd still has its stem. it holds its precious little seeds inside and that is where they will stay.  Happy mother earth's day.
