Yesterday


Yesterday I had the task of cutting up my 800 lb pumpkin that went soft.  It
was more rotten than I thought and it was one big mess.  I had to cut it up
little by little in order to haul one piece at a time to throw in the back of
my pick-up truck.  Hot sweaty work.  There is nothing quite like the smell of
a pumpkin when it goes bad.  Mosquito's were attacking me while I did this
chore.  I think I spent an hour in hell.  It made me appreciate the growers
that manage to grow a "Big One".  Not sure what I did wrong, but I hope to
figure it out.  Because hauling off rotten pumpkins is the worst job in the
world!

I hope no one has to experience this.
