I impulse-bought two pumpkins at the store last year, as they were on sale for a dollar each!
I had them on my little porch for a while, but then put them out in the yard.
They took FOREVER to decay.
Which was kinda creepy.
Visions of scary GMO-zombie pumpkins (delightedly) filled my head.
They actually stayed pumpkin-like for months, until one disappeared, leaving its partner all on its lonesome.
Then I saw this post about a doppelganger pumpkin! I mean, what are the odds? LOL! [I love the chain in the picture–it’s almost as if it really was a “Walker” (Walking Dead reference) zombie pumpkin!]

Here’s my spooky ooky gooky pumpkin pics!
Ashes to ashes
Dust to Dust
A rotted pumpkin
Like forgotten bread crust
Used up and hollow
But a lone seed survived
Pumpkin’s revenge
Oh my it’s ALIVE!
Hugs, Pam
Oh, that’s awesome!! I LOVE YOUR POEM!
I think the important question here is – What happened to that second pumpkin? 🤣
I know, right? Feel free to drop in your wild theory! (I suddenly remembered–again?–reading one of those crayon books to kids, and I got to giggling so much, I had to stop reading for a bit. ROFL!
I wonder if other zombie pumpkins will join the gang! 😂
Oooh, I hope so!!!!
I wonder if a squirrel or some other critter made off with your pumpkin.
They might have!!!! I hope it was tasty!
I hope it was still tasty after all this time 🙂
Lulu: “Hmm, maybe not good for eating, but I would definitely roll in it!”
Ha!
Many years ago, in college, my roommate put a Halloween pumpkin on his windowsill inside our suite and proceeded to forget about it. Some months later, we detected a noisome odor, traced it to a gummy residue flowing down his wall beneath the window, and, well, we had a bit of a cleanup project on our hands …
That sounds truly…horrifying! ROFL!
I wondere what animal carried away with the other pumpkin.
*wonder*
I know, right? 🙂
I hope it was still tasty!
I can’t even imagine and don’t want to.LOL
Tee hee!
Strange how the other pumpkin disappeared. Hmmmmm.
Maybe it’s wandering a multiverse for mushrooms!
I saw this mushy pumpkin
But rotted..Anita
We leave old pumpkins in the vegetable garden in the hopes that the seeds will grow. No luck yet but at least it’s good for the soil!
Ah, I should have taken a seed and planted it in a pot! Good to know it’s good for the soil!
