Wrench in the Plan

Sometimes, the best laid plans still go awry. This season, we had anticipated having the corn maze open every weekend of October. We had hoped to have pumpkins on the vine. And, I had committed to carving a pumpkin for the first time.

Alas, none of this went the way we planned. On September 29th, we had a close family member experience a huge medical emergency. She is ok, but her recovery is taking time and help from her family. I am spending 3 days a week at the hospital. Hubby is there most evenings and weekend mornings. It’s a lot of time added to an already busy week schedule.

My absence from the farm, along with Golly and Gampy needing to watch the kids for me some meant that we couldn't open the first 2 weekends this month. We’ve been very disappointed about this closing, and hope it doesn’t prevent any of you from coming out and enjoying the maze. The help and time required from me also mean that I will likely not able to do the pumpkin, and have missed a couple of newsletters.

A completely separate problem with our pumpkins meant they didn’t grow enough. We planted them early enough to be ripe by now. We fertilized them, did all the things they needed, yet they took WAY too long to come up. They pumpkins are not ripe, so we bought some extras to sell.

I am still hoping to do the pumpkin. We will see if I get the time to do it. We thank you all in your patience and understanding. We appreciate your support in this difficult stage of our lives. I hope to see you all at the corn maze this weekend!
