Choosing Our Imperfectly Perfect Pumpkin

I am a real perfectionist in life. Whether that be ensuring my blog design is gorgeous, shooting a wonderfully crisp photo, or even the shape and size of my pumpkin. 2014's Halloween brought a huge pumpkin of ideal shape, completely scab free. When we went to the same place this year, in search of a similar specimen, they had sold out of pumpkins altogether, meaning we were forced into improvisation. Of course, someone else bought the pumpkin we liked initially (we were slow in choosing) meaning we bought our second choice... a lovely pumpkin with a clean, round front but a scabby and somewhat off balance back.  The dogs, on the other hand, don't have a care in the world, showing me how imperfectly perfect 2015's pumpkin is.

Pumpkin posers!

Creepy close up!

Now we need to carve our pumpkin! Come back soon and see how it looks!


We're joining our hosts Ruckus The Eskie, Love Is Being Owned By A Husky and Barking From The Bayou in the Thoughtless Thursday Blog Hop. We send many thanks their way, and you can join in below.

      In the end, we did! Even though someone else chose the one we liked before this one, our pumpkin is awesome.

    A pumpkin always looks better with its decorations.

    Yep, Earl and Ethel don't worry about a little thing like a pumpkin being lopsided. It's still a perfect photo op. :)

    We aren't real picky. We want a good price and one that will last until Halloween.

    Being a perfectionist makes it tough. Believe me, I am not one, but I am married to one. ♥ Your pumpkin will be picture perfect. ☺
