The Phantom Pumpkin Leaver Mystery

On Friday afternoon I was backing out of my driveway to go to the shops. I noticed the mail sticking out of the letterbox and stopped to get it. As I opened the car door I was greeted by a terrible smell. *Note to self: There really is not much worse than the smell of a dead cane toad in your driveway...except two dead toads.*

Extinguished toads aside, as I was approaching the letterbox I noticed a small pumpkin at the foot of the gate. It is a very cute little pumpkin and now sits on my kitchen bench. My camera is on the blink or I would have posted a cute picture.

The problem is, I have no idea who left it there and why. My mother proclaims that it was not her so it is still a mystery.

I'm wondering if the dead toads have anything to do with it and whether midnight will reveal anything???
