First Freeze

We have picked all of the pumpkins and pulled out the winter clothes (though Robert is still wearing shorts).  Ardell doesn't mind shoes and coats, just as long as he gets to go outside.  Our little garden did produce about 10 pumpkins and lots of crook-neck squash and zuchini (per David Chaffee - they are weeds - noctous weeds). We have felt it was worth the effort this year, though we definately couldn't live off our produce, it did help.

We have also gotten over the first cold of the season and hope to avoid the swine flu that is plaguing the area.  The only other hiccup to the beginning of school is that Robert was rear ended on September 11, 2009 and has not returned to work because of equilibirum issues.

As we have traveled out of town, we have been taking pictures to us for a landscape quilt.  It has been a beautiful reminder of fall harvest and our need to be greatfull at all times.  May you all feel the love around you as you approach the season ahead.
