We have lived here on the farm for about 12 or 13 years now and we are always feeling a shake the house boom. The kids would run out to see if there were jet flying over and I would say at that speed they are gone. We are in a flight patter to Dover Air Force base and have seen some really cool jets including a couple stealth jets at about five hundred feet. So here I am in the easy chair this morning and BOOM… My first thought was the kids and how they used to run for the door but since I have been sailing the bay I now know what it is.
The farm is not far from the Chesapeake Bay and they play war games with ships and helicopters etc. The BOOM is them doing live firing exercises. See I know about this because we sailed right on the edge of the area and they chased us down with a fast navy boat and a helicopter. They told us we would be OK if we held our course and they were not going to start firing until the fog lifted a bit more. It was cool to see all that goes on out there I would love to shoot one of those big guns. I am not too sure I would be good at it but it would most definitely be cool.
As I said I am still in my easy chair this morning, there has been a weather change here and it has become cold at night we went from hot to cold at night and the sun is falling faster. I know I don’t have a cold it has to be the rag weed in the fields and I have a stuffy nose and can’t stop Huh huh choooooo Sneezing so My first thought for when I get finished is to get to the store and get some allergy medicine.
I am out there in the fields every day now picking pumpkins and gourds. Check out the colors in the Gourds! All the kids that come to buy with their moms ask me if they are real. Nature makes some crazy things for us to enjoy.

It is interesting to see those jets. Whitman AFB in Missouri is home to the B2 stealth bombers and every once in a while one will fly over KC with a sonic boom. I am fascinated with people that have the ability to fly anything that complicated.
I love that you are harvesting your pumpkins and gourds now. I have been following your Facebook page and see that you sold out over the weekend. The pictures are awesome.
It looks like the pumpkins have been successful.
Click to you.
Have a great week
We had some friends that lived near Miramar Naval Air Station, better known as the home of Top Gun. When “the guys” were doing touch-and-goes, it was impassible to sit in the yard.
Pumpkins look great. Will it be a profitable crop?
