Remember my pumpkin? My perfect pumpkin?
Remember how happy my pumpkin and I were together?
Well, Monday morning I woke up to this:
Imagine my surprise to see two spots on the front of my perfect pumpkin! Well, if I was surprised on Monday, I was horrified on Wednesday to see that the yuckiness had spread.
I thought maybe we could figure out a a way to carve around the rotten spots. Well....doesn't look like that's going to work. Here's how my "perfect" pumkin looked last night.
We're way past blemished and appear to have approached active rotting. Poor pumpkin! Creative carving is not going to save this mess. I know it's a lost cause but I can't bear to throw it away. Here's hoping it doesn't begin to stink or liquify...

And, for those of you worried about my unhealthy obsession with a pumpkin - I hear ya. I realize that photographing the slow rot of a pumpkin and then chronicling the process in writing is a wee bit nutty. I intend to seek therapy immediately. Gourd Addicts Anonymous, perhaps?*
*I'm taking bets on how many followers I'll lose after writing about a rotten pumpkin. The over/under is 4.

ha... I totally empathize. I wrote about my dog's nails and then thought to myself "did I really just do that??"
I say take the inspiration however it comes. :)
Oh no! Damn rottin' punkins.
I would be upset too! You aren't alone, haha.
Oh no! This is so sad :(
That is some serious rottage in a few days...did "the mister" torment your poor pumpkin?
