I want one of those white pumpkins, I hated them when I first saw them a couple of years ago, but now I love them.

I did but then Publix (grocery store) loaded them in the stores and they are $1 less than last year. $5.99 for a very nice size.

Not again! Last year we couldn't find canned pumpkin anywhere. And pumpkin pie is one of my favorites.

Last year was the first time I carved a pumpkin in a number of years. I only did that because it fell when the grandson and grand daughter were going to be here. I just don't get as thrilled by Halloween like I used to, and it is my favorite holiday. I think it is the take down afterward that does it.

The pumpkin patch fields here are full of pumpkins all sizes. I guess it depends on where you live and if you are able to go to the source to buy. If there is a bad crop most markets may not get very many pumpkins to sell. Oh, My dog loves canned pumpkin and the vet said it was excellent for her to eat for a treat.

That was said for last year also but we had no problems. Perhaps in certain areas.

Yes I guess it's what part of the country you live in.

I know a year ago there was a shortage on commercial/canned Pumpkin in TN at the holidays! The shelves were bare down to 3 cans at Thanksgivig and the store clerk told me they wouldn't be getting anymore, so I was fortunate to get a can.
