Pumpkin Harvest

One of my favorite fall joys are pumpkins -- the shapes, the colors, and also the taste! Moreover, I like the pumpkin plant itself with its curly knots and gorgeous blossoms. One of the many grasshoppers living in the garden chose a huge pumpkin leaf to enjoy the morning sun. Anyway, summer has nearly come to end in the meantime, so I recently harvested the eight pumpkins which grew alongside the house. Aren't they great?

Dragonfly

Aren't the colors of this dragonfly amazing? I found it resting on the patio and took the chance to take a photo:
