We have nice sunny days again where I live in france. After being indoors for three days because of rain, we decided to take a pic-nic & drive around taking roads we don't usually use. I'm so glad, as look what I found.
These were growing in a potager near to the roadside and I couldn't resist taking these photos.
Pumpkins.
Known as potiron in French.
My grandchildren in Denmark want me to send these to them.
All shapes, colours and sizes.
This one was growing on a plant twisted all around a wire fence.
I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon.
.This one I found at my daughters.
Lovely autumn colours, tempting me to get my paints out !
Hope you liked sharing my autumn sunny afternoon 'a la campagne'.
Enjoy your weekend
Enjoy your weekend

ReplyDeleteI wonder if they taste different than pumpkins over here...?
Hello Barbara, Those pumpkins are huge! Your grandchildren would certainly love turning them into lanterns, what fun they would have.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, so would I. Enjoy your Sunday. Best Wishes Daphne
