A Great Pumpkin

      
 Edgar Allen Poe and Raven
were taken with this pumpkin
 (see the Oct. 19 post),
 a round straw bale
 fancifully transformed
 into a pumpkin

 about Duncan’s Corn Maze along the Robesonia-Bernville Road.
 Ingenious, honest solution to the problem. Happy Hallowe’en!

Where’s Edgar?

Dark over Park, Bright over Light

   Traffic Tally: 378082.
   Pick of the litter: a piece of light blue paper.
   Little squirrel leaps out of the trash can when I make a deposit. I’m free!
   Oh so quiet compared to yesterday. No Odorama, no drama.
    At last, a heron in the creek at picnic bend. It reminds me of how humans look [...]
