Too Many Pumpkins by Linda White, Fall, Harvest Stories, Fall Stories

This was a cute harvest story about a woman who lives with her cat companion. She dislikes pumpkins because when she was little, that was all her family had to eat. Now that times are better, she stays away from pumpkins, until one day, a twist of fate made her change her mind.

While driving past her yard, a truck full of pumpkins ejects one onto the street in front of her house after a big bump, and it breaks all over her yard. Later, she finds herself with an entire crop of pumpkins, with which she makes as many pumpkin goodies as she can think of. Then she invites the entire neighborhood over to delight in her cooking.

She and her kitty have so much fun sharing the pumpkin goodies, she changes her mind about pumpkins and plants more for next year.

I love happy endings, don't you?
