I also completely forgot about blogging yesterday, which doesn't bother me, but does speak to time and energy being in short supply some days. Anyway, I hope you are holding up ok and these are absolutely gorgeous squashes - so pretty!

I try to remember to make time at night to cruise around on Randomofo.com and check out a few blogs... to be a part of the mofo spirit. Good luck with the car.
