No Thanks

What happened to your pumpkin patch? Is there a color thief about? Did he turn their little spigots on and drain their color out? Perhaps the sun forgot to shine and their hue could not accrue. I wonder if they’d taste the same if stirred into a stew. For me white pumpkins are a shock and seem as though they ail. They don’t get my juices flowing with countenances pale. An orange jack o’ lantern is the only way to go. A candle lit inside one makes a very lovely glow. My family would not accept a snow white pumpkin pie. I do not want to risk it. A white pumpkin I won’t try. I am sorry that I must decline. I do not care to take one. A pumpkin without color is to me simply a fake one.

Hon, it's really good for you to engage in some humor now and look at how well this turned out. I know you need to write out your sadness as well. I just want to know you're coping so keep in touch, okay? Love, Carolyn
