Pumpking patch kid

( Roger Vogel )

Some pumpkins are just too big to pick, so this little guy chose a white pancake squash, though it didn¿t chew much easier. Matthew Lepley, who is not quite two years old, was playing Thursday in the patch his grandfather started in the Accosta family's back yard. According to relatives, Dean Gindlesperger, who lives in Friedens, did nothing unique to produce this big orange gourd, but they say it seemed to grow bigger each time it rained.
