Is Time Moving at Light Speed Or ....

  OMG is time moving at the speed of light or am I standing still??? Where did summer go? Not that Oregon saw much of summer, the temps never really hit much in the way of heat  and we had lots of rain too.
   There have been reports  saying our beloved pumpkins may not turn their glorious orange in time for Halloween! This could be a disaster, who in the world wants green pumpkins?! Unheard of!
 I can see it now , we'll all be painting our pumpkins orange. sigh.... Probably have to import some from another state,  this would just be wrong!
   Fall in Oregon is all about the corn mazes and pumpkin hunt. Every year our family treks out to one of the nearby farms for a afternoon of fun in the corn mazes, sipping hot cider, munching on  warm apple cider donuts. yummy! Most importantly the search for the most perfect pumpkin.  The kids always head for the humongous pumpkins, which of course out weighs  a small teenager!  Always a treat to try and wrangle it into the the wheel barrel.
 I have been busy working on commissioned Santa Gourds and  music doll pieces which I will post peeks of , before heading back to my studio. Smiles Susan
