Merrilee Brown of Warren,
Maine says, "I think they are just beautiful sculptures--as are most pumpkins
really. I love to feel them--their deep ridges, their "squattiness"--and
admire their subtle, earthy color--and like to imagine my farming
Long Island and Hudson Valley forefathers growing them and their
wives storing them through the winter and cooking with them."
