Thanks to the Pumpkin God!


     I would just like to express my thanks to the Great Pumpkin God 
above.  The night before last, a storm ripped through my patch.  Winds 
were clocked at 115 km/h at the airport across the road.  Trees on the 
perimeter of the patch were toppled and torn apart, airplanes were 
flipped, and mid-sized hail was reported only 500 metres from my 
plants.  But guess what.... very minimal damage to my 3 "chosen" 
pumpkin plants.  The 3 plants that have their vines buried weathered 
the storm beautifully (considering what they have been through).  The 
two plants that I have not been paying attention to are a mess.  One 
of them was almost totally up-rooted and the other is twisted into an 
unrecognizable ball.  The plants with the buried vines only had a few 
leaves broken off.  

Again,.....  praises to the great pumpkin god!  
(I think I will call her Shirley...?)
