Day 339: Hurray! It's time for county fairs, grange displays and the grand weigh-in of pumpkins! Oh, these are just babies compared to the ones which will take the prizes, but nevertheless, any one of them would fill a wheelbarrow, leaving only a few gaps to stuff with ears of late-season corn. Farmers' fields are full of orange giants, but the behemoths have been trucked off to their respective places of honor. A fifty-pound pumpkin won't even take an Honorable Mention when competing against a thousand pound squash suitable for Cinderella's carriage. Stay tuned, because the Washington State Fair opened today!
