The leaves have turned, and we're crunching them under our boots. You know what that means? It's squash season.

Squash is a completely underrated part of autumn. Everyone immediately thinks of apples and cinnamon, but squash, to me, is more mighty. You don't have to do much to it to make it completely delicious. Just stick it in the oven for a while with some salt and olive oil, and you have a delicious treat for all to partake in. Blend it up and turn it into a soup; everyone is happy. It's the time of year to celebrate this, no matter who we are and where we are in the world. Okay, maybe squash is the most prevalent in North America right now, but you get my gist. And did you know it's technically a fruit? We can all learn something from that, which grows in the ground, and gourds are no exception. Halloween is over, so decorated pumpkins are waning in popularity, but edible gourds are only just beginning their reign. For my money, pumpkin pie might just be the best thing on the Thanksgiving menu. Plus, what other time of year do you ever eat it? Exactly. It's a rarity, and it should be. It makes it all the more special.

These memes celebrate all of our favorite gourds for what they are. They're not only beautiful decoration (ever seen a tablescape with a mound of gourds? Gorgeous), they're a staple of the autumn diet. What feels more like fall than cozying up with a nice warm bowl of butternut squash soup? Add some warm baking spices and some crunchy croutons, and you have a perfect meal for a perfect fall day. It complements the crisp and cool weather outside. You need something that is going to warm you from the inside out, and that's exactly what squash does. Plus, you can get creative with them. We all know about butternut, but what about Kabocha? What about Delicata? My mouth is watering just thinking about it. They're all good for different purposes, and we celebrate them all today. You might ask: why do we need memes about squash? Can't we just eat it and enjoy it? And to that I say, no. We need memes about all the things we love so we can express our love for them even deeper. So keep scrolling if that sounds like the kind of thing you're in for today.
