The pumpkin seems to be getting bigger. I think yesterday was day 40. But, I was sleeping after getting up early to watch the space shuttle land. Then it was delayed. Anyway, the measurememnts today were: OTT=189-5/8" with a circumference of 80-1/4". So, it looks to be about 155 pounds.

The area around the stem is starting to get rough in texture and I can see a hint of red right near the stump. The ribs are really starting to take shape too. But, the growth seems to have slowed. It has gotten alot hotter again. Maybe that's it?
