It's The Great Pumpkin

I gotta go back out later this afternoon for a doctor appointment. I don't want to, it's rainy and hot and gross outside and I'm getting anxious.
( Just medical banality. )

I need to take some updated photos of my pumpkin vines. I was worried they wouldn't thrive out here. Now every time I go check on the garden I realize they've grown noticeably. As in, I might need Fox in the pic for scale. Last time I was able to say, "the garden beds are eight feet long, so that should tell you what size they are." Now it's like ... what garden bed. IT'S HUGE. And according to UF's ag extension site, they should start producing pumpkins next month. So we'll be awash in pie pumpkins. Which is not the worst problem ever. I can always can or freeze whatever we want for personal consumption and if there are too many I might talk to the guy up on the blacktop about him selling them for me. Or I'll just start randomly leaving heaps of pumpkins on people's porches. "Here, take a pumpkin!"
"Oh no, I couldn't just take your pumpkins you worked so hard ..."
"It wasn't a request. Take. The. Pumpkins."

So I might even get a head start on fall baking and make a bunch of pumpkin bread to stick in the freezer. Then I can just gift it to people. Here, have some pumpkin bread. I made muffins, too. How about some pumpkin scones?

 I survived my doctor's appointment. Woo!

So anyway, everything seems like it'll be fine this time around. I'm just cramping, which sucks, but I have my microwavable owl.  

On an unrelated note, I bought some bulk coconut chips on Amazon and now I have to figure out what to do with two pounds of coconut. I think I ought to be able to freeze some of it, but I might have not made the brightest choice with the size of bag I got. XD Especially considering Fox doesn't like coconut, so I'm the only one who eats it.
