Pumpkins have long since become a symbol of autumn. 
 In this painting of pumpkins and an old truck, we see a perfect pairing of times past. 
Pumpkins are among the oldest domesticated plants on Earth. 
Archaeological evidence suggests that pumpkins have been cultivated 
as far back as 10,000 B.C.  
This old truck may not be that old, but from the rust on its fenders,
 it has had countless adventures.  
Perhaps it has delivered a few pumpkin pies.
