Growth Spurts and Pumpkin Patches

This pic of Dale Marshall and his 2023 Alaska State Fair winning 2,023  lb. pumpkin didn’t ‘squash’ his record 2,147 lb. behemoth of last year, but he appears somewhat satisfied.

This backyard video clip of Mama Bullwinkle and her 400 lb. calf, which weighed in around 25 lbs. at birth just 4 months ago, also testifies that the Greatland is great for  growth spurts.

Perhaps, if I’d been born here I’d still be the 6’2” height of my youth, or more, and not shrunk to today’s octogenarian, ole duffer, diminutive 6’0″ stature.

Perhaps, I’ve spent too much time over 8 decades wandering through some of life’s more dubious ‘pumpkin patches’ that should have been avoided. . . did someone just say, “That explains a lot.” 😊

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

Proverbs 17:22

Smile, and  . . .

Keep Looking Up ^ . . . His Best is Yet to Come!
