Our Volunteer

A volunteer popped up under our porch this summer, quickly showing it's exuberance!
 
 
After camping last weekend, I had to cut it back- a LOT.  It had completely overgrown our steps so that we couldn't even get to the door!  I thought I should take some pictures since the flowers were so easily visible and cheerful after the chopping.
 
What do you think it is?  I wasn't sure... It looks like a squash plant, but it also has the curly tendrils of a melon...

 
The bees like the flowers as much as I do!



And here it is... we have a mini-pumpkin plant!  They are SO cute!!!
