It's the Great Pumpkin!
Saturday was a lovely day. I brought my husband, Jerill, along to Jude's work session at Diane's farm in Carnation, WA. The sun was out and it was fairly warm! Jude enjoyed himself and Jerill was impressed by Jude's abilities with the sheep, remarking "he listens really well." Amazingly, I am impressed myself by Jude and how he tries and does in fact listen well to both me and Diane when out on the sheep. For a 16/17 month old dog, this is very nice indeed!
After Jude's lesson, Jerill and I went to Remlinger Farms in Carnation, WA to take in their Fall Harvest Festival. We wanted to get a pumpkin for our doorstep, plus given the nice weather, I wanted a few more pictures of myself as a pregnant woman. My due date is rapidly approaching and I don't think I'll ever look this way again!!
We did find our pumpkin in the massive field of pumpkins. There were a bunch of other families out in the field too. It wasn't too muddy out there but I'm glad I wore my Scottish Argyll farm boots - of course, with my swollen preggo-feet right now, farm boots and Birkenstocks are about the only things I can wear right now!
This way to the Pumpkins!!

The Most Famous Car In the World
As you may know from some of my prior posts, I'm a bit of a motorhead. Not extreme, but I do like cars, especially pretty, fast, expensive ones!
Last weekend Jerill and I attended the 2011 Kirkland Concours d'Elegance. Basically, this is a 'fancy' car show where proceeds from ticket sales benefit children's hospitals around the Puget Sound area. We also went because my parents were showing their car in the 'non-judged' segment of the show. While their car is great, it's not what is called "concours" quality. Basically, to be a concours car, you have to be immaculate and everything needs to be original.
Another reason why this particular car show was a big draw for me is that the James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5 (yes, the one from the movies like Goldfinger and Thunderball) was being shown as well. How cool is that!?
Here is the car from the 1964 movie...
And here it is in 2011...
There were other cars at the show too, but we didn't take too many photos as the place was swarming with people and getting decent pictures proved difficult.
This particular BMW caught my eye - perhaps because it's black and white and really, really cute! I think Scott and I would look awesome driving down the road in this...
I liked this Aston Martin Zagato too - I think it's a 1961 or something. Its lines were so beautiful that it looks more like a sculpture than it does a car.
This very old Aston Martin was in immaculate condition. It's just an interesting, lovely looking car that my Dad probably wishes he had in his garage.
Jerill liked the Greyhound on this car (I liked it too). I also really liked the color of the car.
That's pretty much it for pictures from the car show! The only other picture on the camera this time was of Jerill painting the baby's room. It's almost ready! And, it's in the nick of time being that I'm 35 weeks along now!
