The little weather exclamation point on my computer was yapping about frost all day yesterday so late in the afternoon I decided to go outside and pick everything. Why do I insist on growing swiss chard every year when everyone in my family except me hates it? Well don't tell them but it is definitely on the menu tonight! Since I posted it watch and see if they don't all develop "dinner plans". Ha. Basil also we gots. And we gots lots of it. I planted Cinderella pumpkins this year but time got away from me and they were only watered when it rained much less fertilized. That doesn't matter because those two pumpkins are the most beautiful red orange. If only I could paint a room that color! They just as wonderful as last weeks fuchsia gladiolas! Some people are missing the color connections in their brain. They actually like beige house, walls, clothes, etc.. I guess it is like the music connection I don't have but my kids sure do. Karl hears music all the time. A constant sound track. For me it is the colors. Maybe that is why winter in upstate New York is so hard. It is the lack of colors. I really should paint a room soon! Fuchsia or Orange?

I think you defintely need a fushcia room and an orange room. Have you seen Lara's apple green room with eggplant curtains and orange block pillows? Color phobes take cover! I, like you, think color is real a form of sustinence-- food and energy.
Abbington Putty, Toast (was Peanut Brittle til recently) Eggplant, and soon to be Cobblestone...I think my brain/color thing is very out of sync. And although I like to sing, I sing badly so the music thing is pretty bad too. Love the pumpkins.
