HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Discarded watermelons:(

Can you believe grandpa's watermelons that didn't make it? He piled them up here in his garden so they can rot. I think he'll have a great patch next year!!! A LOT of these are volunteers that came up and were as sweet as candy. They are called "Black Diamond." We kept trying them this fall but they just ran out of hot weather:(

One big squash!

This is a 40 lb banana squash that Wally picked the other day. Unfortunately, it had a little bad spot on it so we couldn't sell the whole thing. He cut pieces off for people at Farmer's Market and they were happy getting that. Our garden has provided us well this year.

Before and After

Well, we did it! This is a shot looking down the length of the property before they started cutting the trees down. It only took them about three days and they got them all cut. They cut the wood in firewood sized pieces and left them in piles and kinda even raked some of the piles and piles of pine needles. We have a couple of friends that are taking the wood. It seems so different and the people across the street feel it even makes their yard seem bigger. I just feel a little bad for all the quail that lived in those trees.

THIEF!!!

This is what happens if you sneak into our basement and eat our rice cakes without asking! I couldn't beleive it when I went downstairs and found a completely empty bag of rice cakes. Just a few crumbs left. I thought this mouse would be about the size of a cat!
