Remember my posts about my hopeful entry in the annual Pumpkin Parade? I also posted a few about the slooow progress as my little pumpkin started its journey.
Yesterday at 5:00pm sharp the good people in our neighborhood cheerfully got together for our third annual Pumpkin Parade. Our little pumpkin was loaded into a wagon, he watched us nervously with his radish eyes and sniffed the air with his potato nose.

MeMa gave him a reassuring hug |
And then off to the Parade...........
It was a record turn-out and besides the King of Gourds there were several other entries as well....

The Little Scarecrow did not have an entry or a comment for that matter |
There was much standing about before the parade started its route,
but it soon did with a trombonist leading the way.

With all the commotion, it brought folks out of their homes, some joined in and others took photo's. |

Before the Little Terrorist were turned loose on the night we all sat down to a nice hot bowl of MeMa's home made clam chowder, a delicious secret recipe passed to her by her mother which we have made a Halloween tradition. |
I love clam chowder.
