Pumpkin Races!

I promised you pictures of the pumpkin races and here they are! Does it look like these guys are racing in giant pumpkin boats? That's because they are! It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen! The pumpkin festival was in Damariscotta Maine.

He's Sweet!!

Don't be afraid of the giant spider pumpkin Jacob!

Buy Local!...Buy Handmade!

Lately the economy has been weighing heavily on my mind(and everyone else's). You can feel the uncertainty in the air.

The government and big corporations have let us down. Where do we turn? I say let's turn to each other, let's spend our hard earned dollars where we can do the most good. Places like Etsy that support cottage business and our local shops, and farmers markets.

This is my Main Street. It is a precious part of America. We need to keep the honest hardworking folks that keep it alive in business. If we lose our local economy, where will we be?

I'm getting off my soapbox now and taking my kids to the pumpkin races. Pumpkin races you say? I'll have pictures soon :)
