Pumpkin Harvest in Short Supply

This Yahoo! headline greeted me a few minutes ago.  I read through and found the causes are abundant rain in August combined with high temperatures.  Several bloggers have shared their disappointing pumpkin crop stories already this year.  I hope this article will make you all feel better.....even the research experts were surprised!

Thanks to everyone who sent pretzel recipes in response to an earlier bleg.  We haven't had time this week to make any of the submissions, mostly because I can't get all the children in this house well from a long, lingering cough.  No one seems to be infectious or contagious but in public, people are starting to look at us like we're a walking TB factory.  Hopefully we'll get it under control today.
