Yipeeee.....maybe

I think we dodged the frost ......

Only 40' on my car on the trek in this morning.....



So I missed the frost -- but the rest of today is kinda the pits.... need to head outside for attitude adjustment.

The Truck Conga Line

they thought they needed to stop next door for lunch -- and then they stayed a while ....

fast becoming a bad habit

they even parked across the street -- one of them felt the need to try and park in my driveway --- i'm a crabby middle-aged, menopausal woman -- i came a bit unglued.....

oh and did i mention this blue truck left his motor running and his gumball flashing.....it was just divine!!!!

Now close your eyes and imagine

the noise . . . the conga line of dump trucks just went past the office -- sometimes I think it would be better to be in the "zone" --

getting in and out on the north side -- is one very skinny lane of traffic -- I braved it this morning with the fully loaded/ready for market truck -- not going to attempt that again.

they start pouring concrete today --

. . . . . (sigh)

damn it's monday already

Market Customers...

jean g - she really didn't think I was going to take her picture .
john m ...

sandra

marlys k -- now she knew i was snapping away

melon customers -- one was okay with it, the other not so okay .

I managed to get 3 loads of stuff picked before the wind got wicked --- it's really blowing out there! A bit of rain too. Make that 5 loads of stuff . . . 1 load of ornamental squash, 3 loads of pumpkins, and 1 load of pie pumpkins -- lots more to pick -- I'm cutting in roads as I pick -- there are some whoppers out there.

Market Wares

okay -- here's the pumpkin, squash & wackie line up
here's my trusty (well, trusty this year) truck and not so trusty canopy ---- it's a lotta stuff crammed into one truck.. the pumpkins take up way to much room.

last week i attacked the canopy with chalk and totally forgot about it until I downloaded the pictures from my camera -- who needs an expensive sign, when sidewalk chalk does the job!

I'm just about out of watermelon -- there are quite a few little ones in the patch and the rain will help -- but the "F" (frost) word is in the forecast -- my weeds will help, but......

According to elder #1 -- who is down and out on the couch with the beginnings of the crud --- tomorrow is supposed to be windy --- like 40mph winds . . . batten down the hatches....thar she blows......

Yes I need to go to bed I'm getting weird (weirder) . . .

Up and At'em (sorta)

Well I'm ready for market -- stuff is heaped on the truck -- the tailgate is even down and crates piled on it --- pumpkins take up way to much room. Not sure on the weather yet --- the view from the window is fog --- ventured to the basement for laundry and in here to type -- next up is wardrobe. Layers.

Jean and I are exploring the idea of "the great Pumpkin event" -- details to follow. Lots to do (pick) before then -- she has to finish her stamping house project too.... so many projects so little time....

I've been exploring the craft blog world (nights when not sleeping) -- I added link to www.crazymomquilts.blogspot.com -- she has some beautiful quilts.
