Stealing pumpkins?

[stella1751]

har, har, har!

My thread's been hijacked and I love it! Next garbage day is Tuesday, maybe I'll score some more great stuff and post again!

Carolyn, truth be told, I'd rather hijack your pumpkins. I am suffering what someone in the leaf-theft forum would probably call "pumpkin envy"

I went to the freecyle link Gix gave me, and I searched pumpkins. A post came up made on December 2, 2008. Some lady wanted to get rid of four decorative Thanksgiving pumpkins. I reason that those are gone by now. However, after Thanksgiving, I'm gonna post a Pumpkins Wanted message.

You might want to consider locking your garage at night to protect me from my baser instincts

I just went out with my son giving out bags to collect canned goods for his Cub Scouts.

I saw probably 40+ whole pumpkins. I had to fight back the urge to go grab everyone of them off the porches. Than I got to thinking when we go back to pick up the full bags I will bring some pieces of paper with my name and email with a message asking to email me when they are done with them for my compost. I'll just put them in their mail box.

My husband wants to do this next year also. We'd write a short note and say to leave whole pumpkins or squash on the curb for composting--of course we'd remove the seeds first for roasting. That will make sure people don't put them inside their garbage cans.
