Congratulations, winners!!!! And I'm looking at a crazy busy weekend here on the farm, so I'm putting on my pumpkin lady hat for the next two days... and baking lots of stuff and being nice to customers!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone has a great, wonderful, marvelous September weekend. God bless you!
Ruthy--how many weeks does your fall festival last? Tell us how many pumpkins and mums you have for sale this year! Wish I could pop in for the day!
DeleteGlynna, we'll be going strong until Halloween although things will taper off late October.

Happy weekend, everyone! And congratulations to the winners!

ReplyDeleteNot sure how my weekend will be with Florence knocking on the door by tonight. A lot of wondering. How soon do I fill the tub in case I lose power. Getting ready to plug in all devices.

Praying for all of you.
Stay safe, Wilani! Will be praying for your safety and comfort.
