A three week turnaround is not too bad in my book. The pictures are not good quality this time, for some reason. Click on them for better resolution.

Which wasn't producing any pumpkins anyway, so good riddance.

So relieved you all made it through! That is a long, long time to go without electricity. I can only imagine the challenges that brought. We probably would have gone to Applebee's by day two at the very latest.
