BRRRRRR!

So, what did you do tonight? Here's a shot of what we did and was it ever fun.

I kid.

We're expecting it to reach 32* for a low tonight, so we had to cover the pumpkins to prevent them from freezing. I guess once a formerly frozen pumpkin thaws, it gets soft in a hurry. We were trying to avoid that problem.

Lucky for Max and me, Beth stayed at the stand to lend a hand covering the orange beauties. With her help, it took us a little over an hour getting all the tarps and plastic in place and pumpkins moved to fit. Could someone tell me the science behind why covering "stuff" with a thin layer of plastic makes such a difference? Why wouldn't the pumpkins freeze just because. Max really got a thrill out of bossing us around. "Put that tarp over there. Find me the scissors. Move those pumpkins over here." It's a good thing I love him so much! Beth, you are so fantastic! You really saved the day staying and helping like that. Thank you and we love you!! The word of the day is Beth. She deserves a day. She deserves to be a word. Hey, it's my silly contest--I can make up random rules if I wish.


I have boy and girl scouts who visited the ranch recently who I still need to talk about. Tomorrow two preschool classes will take a field trip to our stand. So many stories are being put off because I cannot keep my eyes open. I must be getting old.

Tammie and Cari, thanks for working the stand different shifts this week. We love our volunteers!
