I love all the different shapes and colors. The lovely blue ones are my favorite! Well, this year any way. <br /><br />You mentioned that you are going to save seed from the ones you bought. Have you done that before? In my experience with curcurbita they cross pollinate very very easily and their offspring are never very delightful or edible and I don't ever get ones that look like any of the parents.Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496680275949744856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-86373683767111959672010-11-02T19:46:26.788-07:002010-11-02T19:46:26.788-07:00I'm glad you have something to take your mind ...I'm glad you have something to take your mind off of the stress from the day's work!

It turned out just lovely!!!<br /><br />Your pictures, from your walk are beautiful. I'm so happy that you have a haven in your home!!!<br /><br />When you said that your husband said that pumpkin looks like a giant tick - ewww... he's right!<br />My husband says things like that all the time! They are so naughty, aren't they?!?!<br /><br />It's warm here, too. Today it's in the 80's - but I'm NOT turning the air conditioner back on! I'm not, I'm not...I'm not... How about you?<br />Blessings,<br />JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219697351256084803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-63229946561313222502010-10-31T04:51:55.231-07:002010-10-31T04:51:55.231-07:00Sometimes those grumpy people just need to gripe a...Sometimes those grumpy people just need to gripe and you happen to be handy, lucky, blessed you!I bet you return a kind word to them anyway, and with a smile.<br /><br />The weather here is most often wet now, but every so often the sun peeks out and blazes on the autumn foliage. Then the honeybees come out even though the temperatures seem barely able to sustain them.We don't have the extra sunny days you do, but appreciate the weather here every bit as much as you appreciate yours.

It was so pleasant today tho. 86 yesterday and the winds were howling here, too. Blew some of my plants over and broke a branch on my climbing rose. Rats!<br /><br />I'm reminded of "All Creatures Great and Small" looking at all your little critters sunning themselves. Great pictures! You got some good close-ups! That wasp you got there - we call 'em yellow-jackets over this way. ;)<br /><br />I bought a few regular pumpkins this year, and was going to get some of those green/orange and ghost pumpkins, but the crows have decided to poke holes in the ones I got, so I thought maybe I shouldn't spend my money on any more! I did buy some more mums tho!<br /><br />I planted my deadish mum roots in an old wagon back in the early summer and they filled out and are blooming their little hearts out! Lavender and yellow - I'll have to post a picture.<br /><br />I love how I can unwind, too, when I come home and go outside and just absorb all of God's green earth and its creatures!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-49318324906952386562010-10-26T18:55:29.757-07:002010-10-26T18:55:29.757-07:00A cool day at +86?
