I had my daughter draw on two pumpkins from the grocery store this morning. Then, I took her out to a farm, that grows & sells pumpkins today. She had a blast and then, we carved two of them & put them on the front porch.

Looks like a great day out. Your porch looks very halloweenish now. I'd have liked to visit a pumpkin patch some day.

I don't think she was so much tired in the truck on the drive home, as she was bored. She was looking at the cotton farms we passed, fields & fields of white. A lot of them had cotton strippers and module-builders in them. The cotton gins have fired up too.
When my wife's family starts stripping their cotton (they already defoliated), I'll take pictures & post them here for those of y'all, who've never seen cotton harvested. We like to take pictures of our daughter in the cotton field & with the modules (modules are huge rectangular bales of freshly-stripped cotton, pounded into a tight brick. These are then picked up by a module-hauler & taken to the gin.) We always title those pictures "cotton heiress".

Looks like she had a great time. Her shirt is festive. Got a kick out the orange beetle-its too funny. Do you get very many trick-or treaters that come around?

We actually get quite a few trick-or-treaters in our town. It's only got 2,000 people in it and we all seem to know each other, so I reckon, folks find it safe. A friend is going to get a small flat-bed trailer & cover it with hay & hay bales and haul kids around town on it. The kids will jump off & trick-or-treat up & down a block, then get back on the trailer & move on. My wife gets a lot of her students - she says they're too old to be trick-or-treating in 8th grade. Last year, she got a bunch of pencils & gave those to the kids, she thought were too old.
