Champion flyer and harvest on the farm

Harvest time on the farm! The giant pumpkins - named Bubba, Junior and Lulu ended up being very huge. It was fun watching them grow but the pumpkin vines took over the entire garden. As a matter of fact, the vines crawled up on the tomatoes and knocked the cages over on their sides. But they are still producing tomatoes. This has been the most beautiful last two weeks as far as the weather goes. Temperatures have not exceeded 80 degrees and the winds have been practically nill. (is that a word?) Had to take a picture of our house last night - such a nice calm evening and everything looked gorgeous.

Papa was surprised when he took first in the Spot Landing and 3rd in the Bomb Drop. Was really fun to watch. KMan said Papa should use the 182 next year for the balloon catch.

Artie and Papa showing everyone how it's done!

Our newest addition to the farm. Papa actually got a brand new

John Deere tractor. He even shared and I got to haul Junior

to the entrance of the driveway. It is really fun to drive!

Emmy likes the giant pumpkins or it could be she is

looking for the gopher that is living under them.

We have some apples. I have froze 2 apple pies and made 2 or 3 apple crisps. I have some apples left on one tree so I'll try and use them up on monday. Nothing is better than fried apples on a cool evening. YUM YUM :)
