Pumpkins Keep Growing

The pumpkins keep growing. Now the Cinderella Carriage pumpkin is as big as the Walczak pumpkin. Once the pumpkins flower, the covers will be removed so the bees can pollinate them. Once pollinated, the pumpkins will begin to grow.

The mama duck has laid more eggs in the nest by the front of the house. How many are there now? The mama duck has been sitting on the eggs all day every day.
