"PumPkins For Sale"

Greetings from the Cabin

It's a damp, chilly day here

feels like you could light a fire, almost like Fall...

The inside of the cabin & shop are all decorated, now if

only I could find PumPkins to place outside on the porch.
I have been calling around to no avail...I would even take the

run of the mill Sugar PumPkins and Muchkins at this point.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My source in PA for "All PumPkins Wonderful"

(Cinderellas, Jarrahdales, Blue Lakota, & Cheese Pumpkins)

said not yet..and not sure when, or how many

she will get this year due to the wet and rainy June we had.

Our neighbor Tom who owns the road side vegetable stand

down on the main road has One Large Green PumPkin.

(suppose to be Orange..he picked it green)
As much as I beg he wont sell it yet. lol

He does it to me every year in August

he either puts a sign up on the road that says

"PumPkins For Sale"

or places one right up front,somehow it gives him a kick

to see me just about crash the car stopping to see if
he has any to sell at this time of the year.

Since I couldn't find any to buy I decided to make

PumPkin Fudge

we think its pretty tasty and my customers love it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you and yours are

well & happy in your little neck of the woods.

Lazy, Crazy, Hazy Days

Today is Wednesday...I had lots to do....I did Nothing !!
It was hot here at the Cabin, bright sun & lots of

humidity..... just couldn't get myself in gear to accomplish anything.

My DIL and granddaughters called to come and swim at

the pool after lunch...well the poor dears only
got fifteen minutes...and then the thunder and rain came.

We all ran inside for some juice and chocolate chip bars I had baked,
after snack the girls played dress up for awhile and just now

left for home...time to catch up on their summer reading.
I think this is one of those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer

so I decided not to fight it............

Going to pour a large ice tea and go sit a spell on the porch.
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Love is to the Heart what the Summer is to the Farmer's year -

it brings to Harvest all the Loveliest Flowers of the Soul.
