Almost, but not quite, the official start of Fall and pumpkins seem to have appeared in the city overnight, stacked up outside against store walls, spilling out of bins, and arranged decoratively inside many stores. Pumpkins just might be the most cheerful of all vegetables, generally dressed in brilliant orange and more impressive in size than other vegetables. Each pumpkin seems to have its own personality, a certain discoloration here, an indentation there, taller than the pumpkin next to it, or with a stem slightly askew.....and that's before they become jack-o-lanterns. To me pumpkins herald in a spirited season, full of mystery and delight. I want to add pumpkin spice to everything, and the air I breathe to smell like cinnamon and cloves. I start scanning the TV listings for my favorite classic Halloween shows and although I could probably recite it at this point, I read the Halloween Tree over again. It's a time to marvel as the leaves transform into canopies of color, like blazing sunsets above us. And the air starts to bite a little more each day and our footsteps echo just a bit louder.
