Pumpkin, pumpkin ….

This is my pumpkin patch. Can you see the pumpkins? You probably can't unless you look really close. Really close.

Can you see any pumpkins yet?  No? How about now?

There they are!! Little stinkers hiding away inside all those weeds.

Since we've had so much rain this past month ... season ... year, the ground is really soft and so those weeds come and out of the ground with one little tug. It took me about an hour to clean the whole patch.

Now if it would only get warm so the little darlings could grow.  At this rate, I won't have pumpkins until NEXT fall.

This summer so far, has been rather dismal and dreary. The strawberry crop came in a month late. The corn crop was put in a month late but is still not growing well. Farmers in the area are scratching their heads, wondering how to buck their hay when it's so wet.

C'mon Summer Sun! Shine down!
