Bulan Oktober-November adalah musim buah pumpkin di Amerika, temperature mulai mendingin tapi matahari masih sering bersinar cerah, kadang diselingi hujan, terutama bulan November terkenal dengan istilah 'November Rain'. Di Northwest Amerika Serikat dimana aku dan keluarga tinggal, musim gugur juga diwarnai dengan musim panen yang berlimpah, tidak saja pumpkin atau di Indonesia dikenal dengan nama 'waluh' tapi juga musim panen buah apel, pear, squash. Area Pumpkin Patch atau ladang waluh tersebar di beberapa tempat di seluruh bagian Northwest. Halloween, yang perayaan-nya setiap tanggal 31 Oktober sudah berlalu, tapi waluh masih merajalela dimana mana, bahkan banyak yang dikalengkan, jadi mempermudah ibu ibu yang ingin membuat pie waluh, sehingga waluh kalengan ini bisa dijumpai sepanjang tahun di supermarket di seluruh Amerika. Pie waluh atau pumpkin pie, banyak sekali dijumpai sebagai makanan penutup atau dessert di banyak keluarga yang merayakan hari raya Thanksgiving yang tahun ini jatuh pada tanggal 25 November, 2010. Thanksgiving adalah hari libur nasional yang berlangsung dari hari Kamis, Jumat, Sabtu dan Minggu. Mirip hari Lebaran di Indonesia, banyak yang pulang kampung, merayakan Thanksgiving bersama sanak saudara dan makan, makanan tradisional.
October and November is the pumpkin season in United States, The temperature is getting cooler, but the sun still sometimes shining and...rain, that's for sure. In the Northwest of United States, where me and my family live, Fall harvest brings a bounty of tasty treats, not only pumpkin but including juicy apples, luscious pears and colorful squash. Pumpkin patches and corn mazes are scattered arround the country side. The Halloween which always celebrated on October 31st is over, but the pumpkin season still going on. And you can find canned pumpkin easily in the supermarket, even the canned one, you can find them along the year. As you know, pumpkin pie is the famous dessert for Thanksgiving dinner in many families in entire United States. The Thanksgiving Day will be on November 25th, 2010. Thanksgiving is National holiday from Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Just like Eidul Fitr in Indonesia, Thanksgiving is big holiday, many people take trip to come back to their hometown to celebrate and eat traditional food with family and friends.
