Really! Psssssst It Is 03.23.2014 - Updated!

Seen around the corner from me today.

Which seems a little excessive until you turn the corner

and

I am

Kidding

This is a replacement for the one that already melted over winter. But where the hell do
you buy a perfectly ripe pumpkin in this area in March? Some stores that specializes
in things to drive your neighbors nuts? (Photo taken 03.21.2014)

Look at that thing, you could not find a more perfect pumpkin in October? While the one
behind it, has certainly seen better days. But it scary!

I still have a very large wreath and lights up on the outside of my house. But I did spend most of the winter preparing our home for the baby that now takes up all my time so, the decorations are the least of my concern.

Not to mention its still cold!!!

If it would warm up a bit I might consider making the time.

However, those inflated things do look terrible...

Chris

Congratulations on the baby. The well established Lakewood name Bindel recieves another joyous
chapter in the story!

That said, in Lakewood you just never know, but judging from neighbor that is really creative.

I have to give him credit for not just producing one perfect pumpkin from nowhere in March...

Image
... but two.

I was laughing my ass off!

I will never say it enough.

Damn I love this city, because of it residents!

Lakewoodites are the best.

Mystery solved!!!!

The two pumpkins were keep fresh in a root cellar in the house, and were brought out, not to drive
the rest of the neighbors crazy, but to feed the squirrels. They made a great case for squirrels
needing food in the spring as some times they cannot get to their nuts, so they rolled the pumpkins out.

I was actually hoping there was a store that's sole reasons for existence was to mess with neighbors.

Oh well, nothing to see move along.
