HUGE KENTUCKY KETTLE GOURD

HARD SHELL KETTLE GOURD

When my daughter was visiting this summer she got carried away at a festival that we attended. She spied this huge kettle gourd and just had to have it. The gourd's non-existent waist measured approximately five feet around! When it came time to leave (on the plane) she realized that it was so large that she would have to have a monstrous size box to ship it home. 


Well, it was left with me to figure it all out. Of course, I still have it. It's growing on me every day that I look at it. I think it has a nice home here. Probably, my daughter has forgotten all about it. Maybe she'll remember it on her next trip to Kentucky and we both can figure out how to ship it.


 Let me see.... I think I should give it a name ... Anu the Celtic goddess of fertility sounds pretty good. Really -- she does look rather pregnant. She really shouldn't be travelling right now.
