Giant Punkins

We have friends who have friends who grow large pumpkins for the pure joy of growing large pumpkins. At the end of the season, he has no use for them and so our friends take them. They spread them in the woods near their home for the deer but this year, they brought them to us.

Now we have large pumpkins and we are ready to use them. We will be carving them up on Friday and preparing them for our display of many punkins.


Conditions must be just right today because I returned home to find nary a leaf in a tree in the front yard. The work I did the other day to clear the sidewalk and walkway is history.

It's pretty amazing how deep the leaves are. I need to break out the snow blower. There is a sidewalk out there.

This is a record, breaking the previous milestone by eight days. I'm so happy about the money we've saved that I'm going to crank up the thermostat and go nuts for the next twenty minutes.


Heat in the privacy of your own home. What a country!
