Acorn Squash is determined to find a way to shine this fall, despite the overwhelming love the humans have for Pumpkin. I love Acorn Squash’s earnestness and drive to carve a niche in the pumpkin crazy fall season. And when it doesn’t seem to go its way, maybe it’s time for an adorable friendship scene.
