Green Eyes on Sweet Treats

No, cats aren't allowed to eat candy in this household. I don't think they'd try to eat it anyway. You know, they're just curious - about why these little sugary sculptures are being laid out in front of them as if it's some sort of ornamental display. All the adults I know say that they don't really enjoy these treats as food but it makes them happy to see them reappear at the same time each year.

Seasonal appearance

You don't have to take a fall foliage trip to enjoy the beautiful, autumnal colors of this harvest season. Take a look around your neighborhood. Store windows, porches, and sidewalks are filled with an abundance of color and texture.

"O, it sets my heart a-clickin' like the tickin' of a clock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock."
James Whitcomb Riley When the Frost Is on the Punkin (1883)

Pumpkins and squash come in all sorts of shapes, colors, and textures;they'll be made into soups, pies, custards, and of course jack-o-lanterns for Halloween. You don't have to be an artist to appreciate these sculptures of the vegetable world.
