Happy Fall - White Pumpkins


I was getting a little tired of the traditional fall colours  so decided to go with white and green, still a fall theme just early fall,not late:O)!  For many years I did not even know there were such things a white pumpkins, thought they were all green which tuned orange as they ripened.  I think the white ones are marvellous and beautiful in their own way.  I wonder if they taste the same, probably so!
