When pigs fly....

When pigs fly and pumpkins grow on trees, then I'll be ......

I've tried to grow pumpkins this year, but found none until I followed this long, trailing vine growing up, up, up into the tamarack tree and bearing fruit. I hope it ripens before a frost or before it's bulk brings it down. In any case, it made me laugh to see it there.

Happy autumn everyone!

That's a great picture, Mom. Did you take it yourself?

That pumpkin vine wanted to reach the sun, it's totally vertical!

Oh Mary, I love your lofty pumpkin. You never know what a vine is going to do. I've decided to use my birdhouse gourds as Fall decor. If I bring them in and they dry out after so much the better.

I was thinking of doing a profile and started out with a picture but then grew lazy. So thats all you get, a bad picture. That is Brad, Roy Egg's partner and owner of the antique store in back of the giant chicken house.
