Day 42

Today I met a shop lady.  We were planning our evening of pumpkin carving and of course, needed pumpkins.  We stopped at the only shop we knew had them even though they were quite small in size.  An extremely pleasant woman greeted us and tried to help us find the perfect pumpkins despite her pregnant belly that looked like she was about to pop at any moment.  Her light brown hair was whisked back and a sweater was pulled tightly over her stomach.  She was one of those pregnant women I hope to look like: beautiful no matter what.  She took the time between stocking to explain to us why the pumpkins were small and expensive but frankly, carving tonight was not something we were willing to compromise.  She was a delightful woman and I wish I could afford to go back and buy veggies from her every day, but unfortunately the unpleasant, but cheap, Lidl has to do.
