You need this drill attachment for gutting pumpkins. Get out the guts quicker, and get down to carving sooner! Sounds awesome.

The sunset wasn’t as brilliant as I had hoped, but I still managed to get some good shots.
The rest of the pics are here.
We headed out to Galey Farms today for a little hay ride/pumpkin gathering.
Sprout enjoyed the hay ride, and particularly enjoyed the old firetruck parked on the far side of the field. He spotted that from a long way away. Once in the field he and his buddy L roamed about a little and sort of helped pick out a pumpkin.
As I was taking pictures, suddenly my camera stopped focusing. I was very confused until I realized the battery was kaput. Ooops. I had thought about charging too.
I missed some pictures of the boys on the return hay ride, and in the petting zoo.

Yoshi had a great run in the park, and I got lots of nice sunset pictures. Sprout insisted on walking a large loop, so he also had a great walk. It was a little chilly, and arriving home to a warm house that smelled like freshly cooked stew was a treat.
I was looking at some toys for Sprout today, and they had a $40 toy that had a sign under it saying it was marked down to $30. Great.
At the till I asked the lady to scan and see what the price was, and sure enough it scanned at $40. I mentioned I thought it was $30 because of the sign under it. She looked in the flyer to see if it was on sale, and it wasn’t. The sign did say it was a price reduction not a sale.
She rang it through at $30 without me asking, or without a double check on the price.
I am honest though, and I am pretty sure the sign was correct for this toy, but I could have been wrong. 25% off is pretty nice, and the whole reason I grabbed it.
Sox and I cleaned up the basement this morning then it was all attention on Yoshi. We took him to Elk Lake today for a field walk. He always loves a good romp in the tall grass.
Today was no exception, and he returned to us soaking wet. Of course we had forgotten to take a towel so that meant he had to shiver himself warm. Sorry Yoshi.
At the halfway point we stopped for a break and were talking when I spotted a magnificent hawk perched at the very top of the tree next to us. It was huge. We tried to get a little closer to take a better look, but of course Yoshi scared it and the hawk flew to another tree. It was still close to us, and it eventually decided that the dog roaming on the ground 40 feet below was too much and flew off for good. It was completely silent. Very cool.
Sox also spotted this beetle in the grass. They can move very quickly!
There was no wind so the lake was calm as can be. It was surprising the number of people we came across, just out for a walk. Any weather can be walking weather.
Apparently any weather can also be swimming weather. For a dog at least.
We stopped for a coffee in the village and sat outside and enjoyed the sun. Wonderful and relaxing.
