It’s fall harvest time at Frolic Farm here in Michigan, so we picked all of the remaining gourds and stored them in my little red wagon in my garage. There were several nice large gourds that I planned to dry out and enter in the State Fair next August, plus assorted small gourds for decorations. The next day, I happened to glance at the wagon, and noticed that all of the nice large gourds were gone! Who could have broken into my garage and stolen them? Quite a mystery. Then I thought of Kandi, my golden retriever, who likes to pick things up that don’t belong to her. Sure enough, my beautiful gourds were spread out all over my back yard, with Kandi-sized tooth marks ruining them. She left all of the small gourds alone, and just went for the nice ones. When confronted with the evidence, Kandi was sorry she had acted up. She is so sweet-natured, that I can’t stay mad at her long. It looks like I won’t be showing gourds at the State Fair next summer.
