We've talked about starting a garden. To be honest we've talked about starting a lot of things with our new house. As Jay says, "All in good time". Apparently, this doesn't apply to a garden. Okay, so it's not a garden but it is a miniature pumpkin patch and it's growing in the corner of our backyard. It's a wild pumpkin patch. It's wild, not because it's slowly taking over the back corner of the yard, but because we didn't plant anything back there. Right now there are four pumpkins. We had another one but it disappeared. Probably an animal (not Lady) who was looking for an early Halloween snack. I'm hoping that the animals are generous and leave us few to carve this fall. I'm also hopeful that next year we'll have some other items in the garden. Items that we plant and care for that the animals leave alone. It's probably wishful thinking. But as the pumpkin patch has taught me, it doesn't hurt to wish. You never know what might happen!
