Fall Harvest

This past Saturday, on the day that I took the pictures of the horses, I also when to a place called Klinger's ( I think that that's what its called )They are like a Bells Green House in Alaska. But this place also

grows a lot
of the stuff that they sell. Like the tomatoes,potatoes and a lot of the pumpkins and gourds. They also have a grocery store where they sell all kinds of fresh stuff that they get from local farmers. Its a fun place to check out. I bought some of my plants for my garden there. Being that I am from Alaska, I never have seen so many types of gourds and pumpkin type stuff! So many sizes and shapes to choose. Some of the gourds are the ones that you let dry out and turn them into birdhouses. They also had long long tables that they dried Indian corn on for fall decorating. I felt very Martha Stewart-ie while I was there. I was tempted to buy 1/2 bushel of tomatoes to make some salsa and sauce but didn't. It seemed like a lot of work!
The one basket that has the small gourds in it, they look like

dragons feet to me, almost like a claw grabbing onto an egg!
