Talking Pumpkins-- Part 2

**  Pumpkin juice was a favorite drink of the students at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter novels.

**  The famous American writer Henry David Thoreau said, "I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowned on a velvet cushion."

**  Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater locked his wife in a pumpkin shell.

**  In his poem "The Pumpkin," the famous poet and abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier wrote, "What moistens the lip and what brightens the eye, what calls back the past, like the rich Pumpkin pie?"

And then, there is that great pumpkin beers and pumpkin spice cappachino.  And, anything made of pumpkin in the fall.
