Good morning from Collegeville,

The squash is looking good. I once had to pay $7 for a large Butternut squash at Target, so it is nice to see them just laying on the ground. There is nothing better than making Alyssa’s Vegan Squash Soup on a Sunday afternoon. The horseradish refuses to die, so maybe in the spring one of you would like to harvest a little bit. This has been a great year for lawn growth, except it is hard to grow grass under walnut trees. Maybe a truck load of river rock is the way to go.

The APHC show on Saturday is a live broadcast from The Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul. It is the annual season opener and Meatloaf Supper and Street Dance. Special guests include pioneering bluegrass quartet Hot Rize, songwriter Sara Watkins, harmonica revolutionary Howard Levy and singer Lynn Peterson. Even if you can’t make it to the show at 5 PM, you can enjoy the supper and street dance afterwards. Garrison and the gang will be on the outdoor stage and you may even enter the “Loon Calling Contest”.
