Happy Halloween!

So it may be a couple of days early, but I am super proud of our team's Pumpkin Burger w/ Fries we created for our Pumpkin Contest at work!
We used brown clay spread across a piece of styrofoam for the burger, red clay for the tomatoes, a giant piece of yellow felt for the cheese, and we let real lettuce play its part. The seeds are the pumpkin seeds, they were kind of uncooperative to glue on. The fries are extra pieces of pumpkin cut up into strips.
My favorite part is the fry box! I made that last night to give us some extra company flare. The back of the box has the DLA logo, and our AIR/SEA Team name. It was really fun to make, and we definitely had some superior team work going on!

Brisk Fall Fun


So I spent my Saturday afternoon out at Powell Gardens, which seemed like I had not visited for years. I went to see the bug exhibit since it was the last weekend, but ended up being completely captivated by the Tractor show they were having instead. Here are a tiny few of the photos I took, I may post some more later on. It was amazing to wander through all these things, and know that even though they may not look brand new they work just as well! There were some other interesting motorized contraptions along with the tractors, like a steam powered wood cutter, well pumps, and an ice cream maker. I wish it had been a two day show, my camera battery pooped out after only snapping 189 photos.
