Meet Tree Brain – you’d think in all the time it took to carve him I could have come up with a better name! ha. - Pumpkin carving attempt #2 – 42.5 pound Dill Atlantic Pumpkin. See Big-Eyed-Boo Pumpkin #1

Well, I made an attempt to grow to GIANT pumpkins this year… and well, let’s just say they didn’t make it to GIANT status but they were heavy… or maybe I was just tired! *L* One was 42.5 pounds and the other was 26.5 pounds… not huge by any means, but they are my first, so I love them. Because I have talked to these pumpkins all summer & fall (to encourage growth I suppose – or just because they were good listeners) I decided to try my hand at sculpting since they were so heavy for their size, they were supposed to have thick “skin” and they did… so they worked out perfect and I only broke one tool on them – like due to my overzealous carving. I watched a show on pumpkin carving on food network a few weeks ago and it looked like too much fun not to try. See Tree-Brain Pumpkin #2

New sweets on the way this fall!
We’re doing two cancer “bake sale” type fundraisers this fall for my 2-year old granddaughter who has liver cancer. 100% of our profits will go to Mazie’s family (http://www.miracle4mazie.org) We’ve done quite a bit of fundraising this summer and now it’s time for BAKING FUN!! woo hoo. I absolutely can’t wait! I have so many recipes to pick from it’s really hard to narrow them down! For sure, we will be at the Kappa Kraft Fair in Powell, WY on Sat. Nov. 27th at the fairgrounds and if we get in, we will also be at the Country Christmas on Sat. Dec. 4th in downtown Powell, WY. We also might be taking special orders for parties – after we make a few hundres we’ll see how we feel about doing more then! *L*
My friend, PJ and I are coming up with some great stuff so check back soon! I’ll be posting our grandson Conner’s b-day treats sometime in Nov. He’s going to be 3 and he loves strawberries so I hope he loves what I’m making him – along with a “C” Super hero cape, of course!
