Iris found a Long Island Cheese pumpkin for herself and another exotic pumpkin for me &#8212; mine is kind of a pale green color, like the color that used to be called &#8220;seafoam green&#8221; in the Crayola box.  (I forgot what this variety is called.)  We also hit the farm&#8217;s market on the way out and came away with yummy Jonathan apples and some fruit butters and Damson plum preserves.<br \/>\nWe rented The Matrix Reloaded and viewed it while Hambet snoozed on the couch.

Dh is mowing the lawn for the last time this year.  Hambet is acting all cuddly and contrite, as well he should, for his behavior at Mass was probably the most abominable it&#8217;s been in his entire life.  I might try baking quick Sally Lunn bread so we can have something to smear those yummy preserves on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday our friend Iris came over and joined us for an excursion to the pumpkin patch.
