Around Campus: The Candy Corn Jar!

[twinflower]

Lor and Twinnie talked, laughing off and on as they walked arm and arm to the special field behind the Kin's Farm.  They had found how to grow this special crop and every year made a special day of going to harvest it's yeild.  Of course, being Lor's favorite, it was sometimes a wonder they had any at all left to bring back!  Thier plastic Pumpkins in hand, the two women chose a row and started picking the precious Candy Corn!

 

You know it's hard to get Lor to share her Candy Corn, but this year I managed to grab some to fill this special glass Pumpkin Jar!  Isn't it just beautiful!  Guess what?  It can be YOUR'S!  It's simple...just tell us:

 

[glow=redyellow,2,300]How Many Candy Corn are in the Jar?[/glow]

Can we get the dimensions on the jar hun? OMG I love it too, I would die to have that. *goes off to send you a pm* We are supposed to pm right?

[U4ea]

How in the name of all that's holy did you keep that many little pieces of corn from me? *puts her hands on her hips* Oddly enough, my pumpkin was quite empty when we got back... *coughs*

 

And I think the dimensions are going to be one of her hints, Jade. :)

[Jaydena]

*sighs*  I can't see the pictures.  I'll have to wait till I get home.

 

I haven't been able to check in with the Kin in a few days.  RL has been exceedingly hectic so when I do manage to get to DM it's to make an appearance in the Tower as Ajah Head.  Even after work, I've been busy; hubby is working insane hours (one of the other PTA's is on maternity leave) and I'm having to cook dinner, help the boys with homework, do laundry, etc., all by myself.  Well, I usually do it all anyway but if DH is there he does help with some of it.  Sometimes.  ;D

lol well be sure to make a guess Dar!  *grins*  Maybe I can send you the pic on email if you can't see it here!

 

Wow you all have guessed lots of numbers!

 

Ok I am two clues behind..I had said I would give a clue every Wednesday, and have missed the last two due to life out of control!  Sorry..but here you go:

 

 

Clue #1

Ok the pumpkin jar is 6 1/2 inches tall, from bottom to the bottom of the glass stem; it is 7 1/2 inches wide; the circumfrence around the jar is 22 1/2 inches; and the circumfrence from the bottom to the top of the jar is also 22 1/2 inches

 

Clue #2

There is more than ONE bag of  candy corn, but less than FIVE!

 

GOOD LUCK!  *grins*
