Can it be 2 months since my last post? So much has happened, it's hard to know where to start. The pumpkin and squash harvest is long over with. The last of the pumpkins left this past Sunday. Our crop this year was poor, the worst in all of our 25 years of growing pumpkins. Too much rain kept the ground damp all summer. Many many rotten pumpkins. Quite a disappointment. On the other hand, the squash crop was our best ever. Can't really explain why it turned out that way, but we'll take it. I use the bulk of my vacation in the fall to free up some time to get everything done. October 12, DeeDee had her litter of 7 puppies. There are 6 all white puppies and one male black and white puppy. He looks like he doesn't belong. DeeDee is such a great mother. They are all fat and happy.
