This morning the TV weather radar showed a huge storm to our west, and theY said it would start raining around noon and keep it up until dark. So my wife and I went out amid scattered showers and loaded the pumpkins. We spun out a couple times backing up the F150 but finally got the pumpkins out of the patch and up the hill. Now at noon the radar shows that the storm split, went north and south of us and it is clear to the west. Oh well, it is better to lose a couple pounds than lose the whole pumpkin, stuck in the mud. Lu Ann was great help this morning, and took some photos that I will post later. A few years ago I could have loaded them by my self, but my shoulders are too worn out now. I learned many years ago not to underestimate an Iowa farm girl. I'm taking her out to supper tonight; she earned it.
