Did you know Phoenix was once named Pumpkinville? In the mid-1800s, the city took its name from the pumpkins that lived happily in fields along the canals . . . to which I say WHAT HAPPENED!? I wish it was still called Pumpkinville. Once, I saw a pumpkin that grew in modern-day Phoenix. ONCE. (And P.S. The person who decided to name it Phoenix suggested the moniker while he was drunk.)

Anyway, all of these stories help me love Phoenix a little more. I’m still dreaming of my pumpkin party, which might have to happen in November. (And thank you all for the sweet, comforting words about my Granna.)
