The squash explosion continues

Relatively cool morning, nice breeze, morning run, the gang has now figured out Jake's not coming back ... no more looking for him ... ride back by the sqush-corn patch, my God, there are MORE ... take some to church. I have refreshments today. Return home, let dogs out, they want a run ... it's hot as blazes but they wont settle down, so go to bottom of hill and back, then inside for lunch and naps ...  get call from Jake's new Mom (they dont have Net access as they're on vacation) Jake is doing wonderfully, eating them out of house and home, wrestling with their other younger dog, and generally creating havoc ... she sounds very happy:-) ... get ready for evening run, go to back with husband in pickup to pick rest of the squash, I'm in the midst of a squash nightmare, I have never seen squash that grows this big this fst, it is actually quite tasty even when big, no woody texture, tender ... give some to neighbor in back, still have whole pickup bed full... the corn looks like its almost ready too. Interestingly, my dogs who love and devour fruits and tomatoes are totally uninterested in squash ... looks like it may rain, do some more mowing, then back to fix food and feed and kennel.
