Review of Pick the Perfect Pumpkin

Picking the perfect Pumpkin...we have all done it, and many of us would love to be doing it again. This piece certainly took me back to a wonderful place..THE PUMPKIN PATCH. One like I see every year on that cute Little Great Pumpkin cartoon with Charlie Brown and gang. Yes, it is about the experience, and this piece captured it well.
