The Great Pumpkin!

At the start of the summer we were elated about planting our garden and the start of pumpkin season. However as the weeks passed the sun grew hotter, the ground dryer and the pumpkins fewer.

Our hopes for a great pumpkin season have faded. We are at the mere start of Fall and only one lone pumpkin produced. Although sad I am thankful. I will relate this to infertility. Numerous eggs numerous sperm combined to form numerous embryos all in hopes of achieving that one great pumpkin.

I'll take this as a sign if you will. Much like the path of our infertility journey, our pumpkin patch may have been tried from the start...planted, plowed over by mistake, re-planted, over watered, under watered, fertilized, un-feed, weeded, yet left to grow unruly.

We have ended our pumpkin season left with this one sweet photo...our one lone pumpkin. The fruit of our efforts, our certainties and doubts. Now only hope remains that much like our pumpkin patch we will in the end finally get our one great pumpkin!
