close to pickin'

as we draw closer to the day of the dead and halloween, i am almost to tears realizing that my pumpkin season is almost over.  tomorrow i will be cutting all three pumpkins from the plant and letting them mature off the vine so we can get the garden ready for winter.  winter sucks! i will have the final tally of the weight and measurements and will post them soon. we have made a new addition to the family.  she is a beautiful 7.6 pounds of fury.  her name is fiona gertrude sundahl.  we got her from the side of the road from some crackhead south of colorado springs.  beth couldn't let her go to some home that would misuse and abuse her.  my wife kept saying she looks exactly like "my lola." so now our dog jackson and myself are feeling a little bit out numbered, three female pumpkins, two female dogs, sammy my sister (just moved in), and beth my wife.  i am hoping that this is not a trend in my life that i am out numbered.  i am sure i will be left behind enough when beth decides she is ready to be "in the family way" or "P.G" as my grandma would say. when beth decides i will send out a press release so everyone can start stockpiling arms, gamesha save all of you!

more later...
