I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years. Not much to say about it but I still knit. I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable. I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.

Wow, what a harvest! I'm hoping to have a lasagna garden next year with a few pumpkins! I'm going to save the seeds from the "ugly" pumpkins I bought in hopes they'll breed more uglies for Halloween!
ReplyDeletegreat pumpkins Karen,
ReplyDeleteWill you use them to decorate for
Halloween? Do you cook them or do just eat the seeds?
I bet your kids love them and have some great jack olantern faces planned for them.
We have an area that is North of us that grow huge pumpkins - 6 to 8 hundred pound ones- they need tractors to load and move them.
check out this article if you would like to see how big they actually can grow..

Hope you are having fun with your pumpkins.

Great harvest! We only got about a dozen small ones and 1 large one! Much better than ours turned out!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love being able to reap a harvest from your own yard?! Great photo and cute pumpkins! Hope you are all doing well!
