Children especially enjoy hayrides in fields, and picking their own pumpkin is a tradition that children are introduced into at an early age. Just like decorating the Christmas Tree, and the setting up of the Nativity for Christmas, putting doily snowflakes on windows and hearts in February and shamrocks in March and Easter eggs in Easter, the presence of a pumpkins heralds the arrival of Fall or Autumn. In Malta, pumpkins are not that popular, but we do have marrows that are used for soups, especially any kind of minestrone or vegetable soup. But nonetheless, as I continue my flashbacks from the 1980s, enjoy these nostalgic pumpkin photos from my years in New York.
