Pumpkin Thief

We had several (>6) giant pumpkins at Gromps' and a bunch of normal pumpkins. I don't know about the normal pumpkins but the one giant pumpkin that was hiding under the apple tree is the only one there last night. Poof, missing. 

We still have enough to share since I'm likely not going to have time to can pumpkin but seriously?!?  I had plans for the pumpkins that didn't involve the big ones disappearing. 

Keeping Busy

The value of keeping busy is something I was taught growing up, along with a love of gardening. Fortunately for me the two go together very well. 

I'm putting a garden in over at Gromps' and it hasn't been gardened in forever. I remember being little and playing in the irrigation water but I don't know what it was watering. I don't remember much back there after Grommie died either. It has been growing rocks wonderfully. 

There are some amazing neighbors over there who are great helps. It does make things a little more tempting to move. {no I'm not going anywhere}. 

I was asked today how I can put a garden in with everything going on. It's easy, it keeps me busy and gives me a friend to confide in that I know won't tell anything I don't want shared and will never judge me. I wouldn't mind a two legged friend to keep me company sometimes over there, but what's new there?
