Perhaps someone bought it for you -- that's what happened to me.
Congratulations, by the way!

What's a PFM?

Meanwhile, seeing your pumpkins and squash made me think it was time to harvest too, ChocolateMouse.

The funny thing about it is I didn't plant any pumpkins this year. Those are all from volunteers. And last year when I planted deliberately I only got 2. Go figure!

Speaking of pumpkins, a friend made this centerpiece of a pumpkin and succulents. I'm going over to her house tomorrow to make one for our table too.

Woa, I have a PFM suddenly? When the heck did that happen?

Look at your profile. It might give you a hint. It might show how long it's for?3, 6, 12 months?

"PFM," means, "Premium Feather Membership."

Beautiful pumpkins! Have fun making the centerpiece with your friend.

Ahhh! Rainey they're SO BIG! I'm jealous! How exciting! Are you gonna cook with them?

Also PFM is a paid membership on here. Gives you a few aesthetic features and a discount in the shop and access to a PFM feedback forum, and helps pay for the website hosting fees. Some people like it for the clout it gives as a paying member - kind of like you've paid your dues, and the staff agrees with that assessment publicly - but I dislike the idea of money determining status in a community educational resource. It costs $60 a year.

@electrycmonk It appears to be for 3 months. Which likely confirms that it's a gift, not a contest. Not that I've entered many contests - I think the only one was a "what's your hobby" contest many months ago where I talked about baking, video games and art.

PFM sounds awesome! Congrats, ChocolateMouse!

 

[ChocolateMouse]

Haha, I mean, Idk what to do with it. XD But thanks! It's nice to know someone's thinking of me for sure!

I have some fun news to share from our local rock station.... KEGL 97.1

Somewhere in DFW we have a Teenager with some seriously L-O-N-G legs! She has shattered two Guinness World Records with those legs.
She is ~16 y/o
6' 10" tall
49+" long legs which is = 60+% of her height

And it's likely she's still growing....
