Pumpkin spice fills the air everywhere I go it seems. Sometimes it makes sense, like pumpkin spice muffins… mmm. But sometimes oh my, pumpkin spice flavouring just seems… odd. 🙂 It’s gotten me to think about everything pumpkin, as it is that time of year. All the different uses of pumpkin, it’s a rather versatile plant and fruit, won’t it be fun to discover them?
Pumpkins as food!
Pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie,
pumpkin muffins oh me oh my!
So many tasty dishes
That delight the eye!
Imagine now if you would
How to smell up your neighbourhood.
With gifts off food,
Pumpkin, cinnamon, spices more.
Bring a grin to
those shut indoors.
Share a gift
To chase the gloom
of business shut down
to know less COVID doom.
Pumpkins as Medicine
Save them all everyone
Make the world safe for little buns!
Create your lanterns
but save the seeds.
They’ll help your bunnies if you please!
Acting as preventative.
Internal parasites
Keep away.
Not a cure, but make it so
worms won’t make a bunny their home.
Also useful pumpkin puree,
Helps young guinea pigs
along the way.
If momma dies,
Pellets and pumpkin.
Make young babies see another day.
Pumpkins are Fun
Carving, creating,
Making some fun.
Jack-o-lanterns
for everyone!
Connect with friends
Pick just the one.
Yellow, white, or
Orange as the sun.
Your taste in carving
Vary be
Vomiting jack-o-lantern
Maybe see?
Possibly inspiration find
you might create
a pumpkin blind.
Or maybe even a rabbit or two,
will grace the
pumpkins that you do?
So what do you think? Will you join in on the pumpkin linky? Where does the Everything Pumpkin prompt take you?Â
