Little Acorn Squash
Entry #1
The first thing that caught my attention about this squash was its unique shape. Most squash tend to be shaped similar to a pear, but this squash was shaped like an acorn! Besides this one yellow spot, the acorn squash is a pine green. It feels smooth and resembles a pumpkin. I didn’t just pick this specific acorn squash because of its perfect acorn shape. Although it has the perfect shape, this acorn squash isn’t all perfect! It has some imperfections just like anyone does. It has some scrapes, scatches, dents, and tiny lighter green dots all over it. The green dots stand out to me now and they remind me of my freckles. My freckles are similar to those dots because not everyone would notice them. People don’t usually pay attention to my freckles, unless I mention them or they are observing me closely. I only just now noticed this acorn squashes freckles because of how closely I was observing it! In that way my acorn squash and I have something in common.
Entry #2
This is the last time I see my acorn squash as a whole! Its color has changed and now the whole squash is a lighter shade of green. I am about to cut the squash open and I hope it doesn’t smell weird! It was tough to cut since its skin was so thick but I did it. Inside it is a bright orange with some yellow on the edges. It smells and looks like the inside of a pumpkin! This squash is making me realize how excited I am for pumpkin carving. My brother says he wants to take a bite, yuck! According to him, the acorn squash had a taste similar to Cantaloupe but really dry. It is time to say goodbye to this squash! In the trash you go little acorn!
