Pumpkin

Parker waited all year for pumpkin season to come along. Pumpkin latte, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin air freshener, pumpkin pie, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin toaster pastries -- Parker loved them all.

Being able to step away from graduate work for a little while to transform a gourd into a work of art  This year's design? Trumpkin. Parker hoped more people would recognize this image more than last year's Jack-o-Potemkin or the year before when it was Rumpkin Stiltskin.
