I’m home for a few days recouping from some surgery and Cocoa Joy is my constant companion. I’m still in love with her eyes!

And Chippy truly believes he is a “cowdog.” That’s like being a cowboy but only he’s a dog—as in d-o-g. He loves cows. Thus, the “cowdog” theme this year. He always makes me smile.

Last Wednesday before I left for Atlanta, I noticed one of the roses on the patio was blooming again. Odd, I thought. But then it also seemed like a promise that everything was going to turn out well . . . and it did in a miraculous way!

A Fairytale

Even though the name of this pumpkin is Fairytale, it’s not the one that Disney chose for Cinderella’s coach. I’ll have to show you a photograph of that one tomorrow along with Cocoa Joy, who is still in search of her one true prince!

Need An Umbrella

Last Friday, I jumped in the golf cart with Clarence Wulf, who is one of our really cool photographers at the college. He raced around the golf course shooting alumni who were playing in the annual alumni challenge. In this photo, he is totally unaware that the sprinklers where headed our way. I braced for a wet impact but he just kept clicking away. Finally, he said, “Oh my!” He jump in the cart and realized that he did not know how to go in reverse. So we rolled down the hill (backward)—rather quickly with me holding my breath and clinching my cameras.

No Clarence and then . . . .

He was there again! Just today, he told me that he was having “the time of his life.” This is pretty incredible because a few short years ago, Clarence almost died. Today, He is enjoying life to the fullest with his wonderful wife Barbara.

These little pumpkins went to the market. . . . while some little pumpkins stayed in the field. And the little pumpkin in the very front of this wagon will be “mm mmm good” in a nice little pot of pumpkin soup!
