Last Snow of the Year?

Well…..

If the cold weather doesn’t kill the pumpkins the snow ought to do the trick.

Everybody said don’t plant the pumpkins before Memorial Day or they will die. I am not that new here. I have seen a couple of springs in the mountains. I knew that there was always one last snow before it really became summer. That’s why I saved back a few of the plants.

Of course, they are just as likely to whither in their tiny little pots as they are to freeze in the cold. I guess we will see which batch wins.

Last week I was talking about generosity and this week we have a great example.

Your Aunt and Uncle were able to combine all three levels into one handy package. They built you a wonderful dresser that you will no doubt have for the rest of your life–as long as you can find people with strong backs to help you carry it.

Let me tell you about this dresser. It is made of maple and mahogany, has no visable nails or other construction devices, and was personally designed and built in the Mission style by your Uncle and stained and varnished by your Aunt. The lines are smooth and graceful and the drawers pull out much nicer than my dresser (but mine is older). The mahogany accents on the sides and inlaid on the top lend a subtle elegance to the sturdy construction.

Your Mother and I are very excited to replace the folding card table we were using with this great piece and are already planning ways to trick them into building more stuff for you.

Would you like an entertainment center to hold your TV, VCR, tuner, CD player, and Playstation?
