Well, the last time I saw them, they were in great shape. We picked them fresh off the vine on October 12th. We were going to roast the seeds. A good thing is the boys seem to have forgotten about them...out of sight, out of mind so to speak.

But it depresses me. We just live in that kind of world now. And our neighborhood isn't that great. Last year, the kids built a snowman in the front yard and it got torn down and the stuff stolen off it. I hate it that they are unable to do things in their own front yard.

I am able to take them to my mom's house and they play outside with the neighbors. They moved in right next door, much to my delight...five homeschooled children and I was already good friends with their mom. An answer to prayer. The kids in our neighborhood are wild and have no manners or even basic understanding about what it polite and good.
