What is a good excuse for taking a weekend off from pumpkin chores? Watching Yadi hit 3 singles and a homer as the Cardinals beat the Mariners 12-2.

I made a check on the pumpkins this morning. The 866 is taping 882#, and is gaining 7.7# per day. It needs to do 6# per day for the rest of the season or go heavy to make my 1000# goal. Our longest gourd has now reached 99". But we have gourds that are 86" and 82", still very skinny and growing fast. If the weather holds out they could really get big. We got close to an inch of rain yesterday, the first decent rain in almost 8 weeks.
