More pumpkin pictures

Took these pics this morning,the  rain has stopped and the sun is shining of and on.The first 3 pics are my biggest  pumpkin,over 36 inches now.But alas it's rolling down the mound and twisting the vine, that's why I have the sticks against it to prop it up,I have to get on this right away and fix it.Also with all this wet weather we've had the slugs have made their appearance,more on that later.

 Here's my other pumpkin of any size, about 10 inches x 6-7 inches.This one as some yellow bumps on it.

Any thoughts?
