Harvesting Butternut Squash
I took these pictures during the week of August 14-21. The harvesting was done on the 20th and 21st. I have enjoyed watching the maturing of the butternut squash in the field across from our yard. When I asked our Amish neighbor if they were going to hand pick them, he said, “No, they will […]

Their daughter Darlene said the biggest need was for help on Tuesdays. Cerwin took Harold to the […]
