There's a farmer on the corner near a place I use to board at that always sells hay, straw and pumpkins. I've never stopped in there, but I was curious what he gets for hay. He always has pumpkins and gords stacked up in colorful displays around his wrap around porch and driveway along with those big inflatable monsters that got popular a couple years ago. It's like a christmas display, but done for halloween. I put my G3's in one pocket, camera in the other, and was fortunate to encounter the young daughter, who didn't care about my photography, but was curious what it was for. I just said "a contest". What a chicken I am, eh? She led me over to what she told me was the "prettiest" pumpkin and round bale display and I took my pictures, then she got her dad and we talked hay. Win - win for me! (unfortunately, I found their hay is twice what I'm paying for squares elsewhere, and lower quality. ah well)
