Once upon a time there was a whole patch of pumpkins growing happily in a garden in Kinmundy, Illinois. One day the gardener noticed that ALL of her pumpkins had been growing in soil that was too wet for too long, because it wouldn't stop raining. So, she picked ALL of the pumpkins and set them on the deck to dry in the sun. Slowly each and every pumpkin died, except for two. One of the pumpkins that survived was used to make a delicious pumpkin pie, the other one sat in the greenhouse waiting patiently for something to happen. So, finally on Halloween this very small pumpkin was carved to celebrate this wonderful holiday. He sat proudly on the mantle, the lone survivor of the summer of 2009.
