Fire in the Sky on a very Cool nite

Well the temps have warmed up 10 - 15 degrees. Winds are so-so at the moment but the burning embers are still a problem. I have been thru earthquakes in California, wind storms in Arizona and hurricanes in Florida, let me tell ya my friends this is scary.

Our view Monday afternoon..........pretty heavy smoke in this area

a tad unsettling when you see a firetruck in your parking lot waiting just waiting

traffic yesterday on the 101 freeway was unbelievable

now we must go wipe off all the pumpkins cause they are coated with ash

OK must go find the visine for my burning scratchy eyes.....................as always stay tuna'd

The Pumpkin Patch

Well we have done the most absurd thing we have ever done...........well maybe absurd is a bit strong, how bout crazy............maybe even taken leave of our senses.

We are the managers of a Pumpkin lot.......you know the place where you go buy all those pumpkins and gourds and decorations for your porch for Halloween and your holiday table for Thanksgiving.

Excuse me I don't hear you snickering or laughing do I???


We decided what the heck we are gonna be in Southern California with family for the holidays anyway...........why not do something fun. If we weren't doing this I'd be moaning I can't afford to go shopping or sister and I would be cooking and gaining unnecessary poundage. So FUN will be had by the Doodles bunch..............oh and ya know what???...................... they are paying us to do this HaHaHa!!!

These are the most beautiful pumpkins I have ever see.............yes I know they are green but on a holiday table when you do your table scape. They are a beautiful shade of green.............don't quote me I think they are called Fantasia........hey I'm new at this so I'm not up up the pumpkin jargon.

Oh and should I mention this company also has a Christmas Tree lot that needs a manager.................stay tuna'd!!!
