pumpkin comfort

We got this pumpkin at the pumpkin patch.  Ming intended to carve it for Halloween and never did. 

When we got it, it was covered in a net of green veins.  Over time, it's ripened to orange only.  I like it better this way. 

I asked Ming to move it where I can easily see it.  It's perfect.

This morning at the soupline I served salsa.  People love it.  I served jalapenos as well.  It worked out great--I had a table.

An acquaintance from out of town commented on a mutual friend's weight gain.  I marvelled at his idiocy.

Then we had a meeting.  It was cozy.  The offending acquaintance was relegated to the living room where he played with his phone.

Then Ming and I stopped for windmill water.

Then I made breakfast burritos with lots of broccoli.  Ming returned to the Worker to help with some children volunteers.

I wanna make split pea soup but need to chop the veg.

And that's my morning.
