Back home again!
Yesterday we rented a bike to explore the surroundings.. the picture shows the way to the woods.
Picture: calabashes for sale just along the street at a farmer’s house.
Yesterday we went to look for pumpkins and calabashes in our neighborhood. Many farmers were selling those things along the road in buckets and boxes and prices where on every piece. Next to the buckets and boxes there mostly was a little box where you have to put the money in. We couldn’t get the big pumpkins … I suppose we’re too late for that and were sold out already.
Than we passed a little greengrocer’s in a small town and there was a very big pumpkin standing in front of the shop. I had to go inside and ask what the price would be… The people in the shop couldn’t just tell me the price they sell pumkins by the kilo. So I took the big thing into the shop and they weighed the pumpkin and it was more over 6 kilos! The price was €4, 75 for that big thing! Mom was thrilled by it so I went back to the shop and bought it.
We are totally touched by the Americans and there Halloween…There is one lady in America who reads my blog , she has so many pumpkins in her garden, she even has a snake that’s made of more than 20 pumkins, that’s so cool! http://daffodilsanddragons.blogspot.com/ Thanks F.!
So we bought a lot of calabashes and 2 pumkins.
Picture: We passed a little village and there was a beautiful mill
This morning we left Epe ( the little village in the woods) at 10 o’clock and drove on to Elburg. There we bought some souvenirs. Elburger cookies for Grandma and Marijke, who did the mail and took care of Timmie the rabbit. For ourselves we bought a washtub to put the pumpkins and the calabashes in that will get a place in the garden.
Picture: The calabashes and the pumpkins under the shed in the garden.
This afternoon about half passed 12 we arrived at home. I almost directly called Mark and asked him if he would help me carve faces in the pumpkins.
In the big one we did some Christmas lights and they are burning now! It looks great in the dark!
It’s late already I go upstairs and sleep in my own bed (always nice after a strange bed on vacation) … bye… see you tomorrow!
