Yes- volunteer pumpkins! This happened YEARS ago and I've been hoping for the return of the vine. In both the front and back yards, discarded pumpkins and gourds from last or maybe even past year's decorations sprouted and produced fruit er- vegetables. We've been watching, waiting and hoping they would ripen and not be eaten by wildlife. Two orange globes were enticing to something and ended up with holes- they'll remain in the back yard. Three pumpkins made it to decoration status- two on the front steps and one on the mantel. Two gourds are part of the stoop!
The week and the weekend have provided plentiful activity- what else is new on NGR. Denison's ReMix- Entrepreneurial Summit was simply amazing, incredible. The Vail Series Concert on Friday night- unbelievably fantastic. Ideas, inspiration, relationships and pure bliss were the harvests of the week. I welcomed some me time on Saturday as I drove Clare to Wooster, Ohio for an overnight stay. The gift of my drive time- an amazing sunset. A sky that looked like it went on forever. Clouds in a repetitive pattern I've never quite seen- designer delight. The colors vibrant and luminescent. The sun's true state of fire apparent and powerful. Bean's ready for harvest on the east side of the road's reflected back the red light casting a color all its own, an answer, a ripple, a cry of gratitude to the west's presentation. It felt like I was on top of the world. Ohio's Amish Country was shining, showing me a special site.
A site we'll get use to as Clare enjoyed her time so much she has decided to apply Early Decision. We'll keep you posted, it looks pretty good. Her first visit last winter included time in a class and a conversation with the Women's Lacrosse Coach. She has stayed in touch and benefited from team time twice. Last night's stay included the opportunity to meet potential future classmates from NY, IL, OH and WI...her host from Kansas City offered great hospitality. Life on Newark-Granville Road reaping what has been sowed.
