I am listening

This was posted on the Joyce Meyer facebook page today. I just love how God can reach us through many outlets. I needed to hear this today..well everyday!

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" -Matthew 6:33 

Spending time with God is the key to our strength and success in all areas of life. Be sure that you never try to work God into your schedule, but always work your schedule around Him. -Joyce

MOM Tip: Pumpkin Shortage

from: Susan Fox
24/7 MOMS Family Life Editor


I don't know if you've heard about the "Great Pumpkin Shortage"??? in 2009 many pumpkin crops were apparently lost due to flooding fields, caused by too much rain and too little sun. Libby's, a Nestle company is the primary supplier of canned pumpkin in the US. Most of their supply is grown in Illinois. There is still concern about shortages of pumpkin this fall. Hopefully store shelves will fill up again after harvest later this fall.


I am reading stories about 16oz cans of pumpkin being sold on E-bay for as much as $30. Locally, here in the Seattle area, most stores are completely out. However I have been able to find a small amount of Farmer's Market Organic Pumpkin on some store shelves. I bought a 15 oz. can at Safeway for $2.59. The same product, same size is being sold on Amazon for $5.99.


So if you are getting in the fall baking mood like I am, if you see pumpkin you might want to stock up. Let's hope for more supply coming by Thanksgiving!


Here is a link to an article run by the Washington Post concerning the shortage.

So I had to see for myself and here is the link to ebay  ..yikes! All I have to say is if you see some pumpkin in the store stock up! Cassie was already finding it hard to find it in Colorado.
