Nature's cranium replica
roll-up for the big roll-out
It's pumpkin pie time
Mama Zucca welcome all
to Old Oakland
to begin our survey today
It's a Friday and the farmers market
is in full swing
Smart and Final
is in on the act as well
into the seasonal spirit
of change
A fond birch tree
falls to firwood
Playing perhaps on
intergenerational fear
WOODSHOCK
indeed
The humble yet noble
talisman of Autumn
Berkeley Bowl
has assorted squash
for the connoiseur
Edible or
decorative
they have it covered
Turbins
gourds to fit
every gourd
I always regarded her
as a fairly frightening
actress
Morning glory
I'm copping coffee and
heading onward for herb and
victual restoration
The turn of October
arrived a few days early
Everything's groovy
warts and all
Scarecrows
are the haunted heroes
of All Hallow's Eve
These are otherwordly
She's a little
out of my league
Eye candyland
Drive-by Epilogue
For many years there was
a charming pumpkin patch
on this near corner
They are lot Xmas tree lots
with bales of hay
and a selection of pumpkins
assorted gourds Indian corn
and scarecrows
Sometimes they include
scarier characters for
Hallowe'en,
Here in the watershed
near Mountain View's
expansive hillside cemetery
the Florist continues the tradition
and longtime residents feel
an atavistic homing instinct
to return here for celebratory pumpkins
