I went to Walmart this morning to get some vitamins and a storage box to use for carrying my pumpkins down to the garden. Waiting at the red light to turn onto the highway. A woman came whipping around the corner, talking on her cell phone and bam. But she said it wasn't the phone that made her crash, it was the coffee she was also drinking that spilled on her and made her lose control. So my pumpkin truck will be out of action for a while. I will have to delay my trip to Cedar Rapids for more compost until it gets fixed.

At least the pumpkins are growing great. Most have 2nd true leaf showing already, getting some outside time to harden off. But we have frost advisory tonight, which means a hard freeze in my valley if the wind quits.
