Geese Like Treats Too

When I gave my yard goats pumpkin the other day, I also put one in the barnyard for the geese.

They were happy about that.

When the goats came back up from pasture, Casey was quick to find the leftovers!

I helped little Ava find it too.

I think she liked it!

I really need to give them some more.

I hope you’ll come back to join me for Friday’s Hunt.  I have this week’s items at the top of my side bar.

End of the Garden

With the change in weather to solid freezes at night, I had to get the rest of the stuff out of the garden.  I have one butternut squash and a couple of pie pumpkins.

I decided to bake the pumpkins today.  No sense in rushing, right?  I have a couple of days before Thanksgiving yet.

Oh, by the way, that ugly scar on the pumpkin might be from geese trying to decide if it was a weed or something for me.

I’m glad they decided I could have it.  I do still have a big pumpkin and a couple of acorn squash to bake too.

Snickers

Snickers is keeping an eye on them for me until I get around to preparing them.

I’ve updated my sidebar to have the items for this coming week’s Friday’s Hunt.  I hope you’ll join me.

My New Nemesis

How long does it take to rid an acre of pumpkins of water hemp?  I don’t know.  I’m at seven hours so far.  I’ll let you know the total when I’m done.

I am optimistic that when I get through it, the pumpkins will have grown enough to not need to weed them again. (I hope. I hope. I hope.)  Honestly, if I could wave a magic wand and remove the water hemp, it would look really good!  But I can’t do that, so I will keep pulling.

I actually see some little pumpkins on the plants that came up from the first two plantings.

The ones from the third planting are growing well.

Now I just need a bit of continued luck, and we’ll have plenty of pumpkins for the pumpkin patch this fall.

And a totally random thing:  today is my 6th anniversary on WordPress.  This is my 2,333rd post.  Although, few of those I transferred from my previous blog.

I do hope you’ll come back and join me for Friday’s Hunt.  The items for this week are at the top of my side bar.
