Pumpkin Watch Day 1

Clark truly loves the outdoors (honestly, if I let him he would spend all day outside). When he goes out he has to check all the tomato plants and I have to convince him we need to wait until they are red. Today, hooray, there was a red one that we ate for supper. Then we go check the pumpkins. We have two big ones and 3-4 smaller ones. The one large pumpkin is already orange but the other just reached full size. So, we are going to keep watch to see how many days it takes to turn orange (and if it can do it before the vines die).

Here is the green pumpkin in our pumpkin watch:

We also visit the apple tree on a daily basis as I have mentioned. Today we harvested a bunch to make into something this weekend.

Today Clark had to take out his new Woody figure. He really has a thing for Toy Story and loves to have Woody with him.

The goose also for some unknown reason follows us everywhere! He will get within a foot of me or Clark and just stand there. He has also taken to sleeping on our front steps. I think the poor guy is lonely. Springtime we might have to see what we can do about finding him a companion.

We also have a train crossing update. This afternoon they were working on the asphalt (smelled like tar all afternoon). Still have some more work to do but it is getting closer all the time. It should be a great crossing once they are done.
