DW purchased a packet of seeds that was marked mixed winter squash. We got a few different varieties and We are not squash experts. Some help with identifying them and if they are ripe.
Hope it all goes well Major. Tell the surgeon not to do a half assed job, because you don’t have much more to give up lol. Joking, only joking, let us know how it turns out.
Sorry to hear of the passing of a family member. The circle of life that brings us so many joys, also will break your heart time to time along the way. There is an old Chris LeDoux song that says “ sit tall in the saddle hold your head up high, keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky...

That is why I say you be you, and I will be me. I have no problem with others thoughts on the subject. I don’t want others to have hard feelings because I have different ideas about it. Like the wise words of Billy Joel “you may be right , I may be crazy”.
