A pumpkin... in August?

We're planning on vacationing  in mid-September... hopefully that'll be an interesting experience! Meanwhile, back at the ranch farm, August means LOTS of produce... especially melons! Asian melons, watermelons, cantaloupes, etc. etc. etc... The corn will probably be ready this weekend, so hopefully it'll be okay... School will start next week, and not everybody is excited ... 😕😕😕 Everything's going to be okay!
