World's record for largest/heaviest pumpkin ---weighing in at 1524 [World Champion Weigh Off] pounds!! And the 'owner/grower' gets paid $6.00 a pound...that's over $9000.00 if my math is correct. Now, that's a lotta pies!!! And sweet winnings. I swear, my dad had a huge garden when I was single and still at home; also for his grandkids. And he grew pumpkins! I always said "Your pumpkins grow so huge 'cause you spit that nasty tobacco on 'em during growing season". But hey.....none of his compares to this one.

And Moogie commented with a question if I had taken the photos of the haunted cemetery [above, my Wordless Wednesday share]. The answer is yes. I took the photos in DAYLIGHT!!! And then with my paint program made them greyscale and added the eerie lighting to them for W W.

* * * According to city folklore, Corpus Christi - BayView Cemetery is rumored to have 'sightings'---
ReplyDeleteThis cemetery was formally laid out by General Zachary Taylor's engineers between 1845-1846. This cemetery is a local historical landmark. It is rumored to be haunted.
[according to SPOOK CENTRAL]
I was going to write "WOW those pictures of the cemetery are great" but then I read your comment and I love the little bit of history behind it.. Great WW.
ReplyDeleteOH and that is one big pumpkin.
I'm loving your Halloween theme.. Your blog looks wonderful.

ReplyDeleteHello dear Anni:-) Omigosh, I would LOVE to walk through that old cemetery...but in the daylight! lol They say the dead can't hurt you but not too sure if I want to meet a ghost face to face...GULP! hehe
ReplyDeleteAwwww, thank you so much for passing on the Candy Apple award to me, I love it!! You've truly made my day:-) Plus you've now made me hungry for a caramel apple! lol
Omigosh, that certainly is a huge pumpkin...who would have known so much money could be made from growing pumpkins! I used to grow pumpkins in the garden but they always stayed normal size, darn it! lol xox

ReplyDeleteLove the Halloween thing goin on over here!
Do you remember the story somewhere near Austin about the little ghosts of kids who push cars off the rail road tracks where they died. And, you use baby powder to see them? I heard that in Texas History class. You need to post about that for your Spooky Halloweeny month.
ReplyDeleteYou get my vote for most consistent with a theme! You've certainly gone all out this month!
The black part of your soul is coming out more and more as Halloween approaches ! Now I am convinced you have been a witch in the middle age ! Where is your black cat ??

ReplyDeleteYes Moogie, I did take the photos! Just the other day when I was driving around getting photos for my Fun Monday blog. I guess I shoulda said something about the fact, but it didn't cross my mind. I made the photos grayscare then added light effects.

Spooky pics and what a great big pumpkin!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are good pictures but they scared us. Our dad put up a fence to keep us in the garden but it is watching us and that scares us too.
ReplyDeletePurrs Eric and Flynn.
great photos you got here..
ReplyDeleteHave a great WW...c",)
That's a BIG Pumpkin!! This year at our Pumpkin Festival, our largest pumpkin was a little over 1200 lbs and I thought that was big!!!
ReplyDeleteI love what you were able to do with the cemetery pictures. I'm trying to learn my PSP (other than photo editing) and will probably be bald by halloween. LOL
Drats! My computer is melting... melting... and the screen is dark enough I can't see the photos! Got to wait til I get back to work Thurs. night to check them out--just know they'll be nice and spooky! Thanks for stopping by my site--did you find anything you liked? lol
ReplyDeleteDude, your cemetery pictures are so creepy. My arm hairs are raised. I love Halloween!
ReplyDeleteVery cool photos! Rumoured to be haunted - spooky! That is one HUGE pumpkin that is the world's largest!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Hootin' Anni thanx for the treat!
ReplyDeleteI never noticed that cemetery while I was in Corpus, looks like I missed out. I did make it to the Aquarium and I love that old building on the other side of the bridge, old courthouse maybe? I don't know but it's abandoned right by the bridge, on the right, as you leave downtown to cross the bridge.
What wonderfully eeerie photos. Happy WW
ReplyDeleteHello anni,
ReplyDeleteThose are really creepy but awesome shots!Thanks for sharing!

Wow.... You know how to take some "Spooky" pictures..I like to visit cemeteries , but not at night.....Have a good day. Baba
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! We dress up like very realistic zombies, and this year my goal is to make it to an old cemetery near our house and take some pictures. Hoping for a dreary day. Heh heh...
ReplyDeleteHi Anni - I saw something on TV about that enormous pumpkin, and I think the guy said he 'watered' it with coffee. Imagine a caffeine-spiked 'punkin.' Happy WW
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome picturs. How festive. I just LOVE your blog theme!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Anni. I'll have to try this sometime.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great old cemetary, and the "texas" references and history give them something extra.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I love your blog name! It is so spunky and fun! Happy WW! Cemetaries are spooky....booooo~~
ReplyDeleteThat was one HUGE pumpkin. I wonder how many pumpkin pies can be made from it.
ReplyDeleteIs it really that time again? It'll soon be Christmas!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnni,
ReplyDeleteI have tagged you for the 8 Things That Make Me, Me game. If you wish to participate, it would be fun. If not, that is okay too.
