How much!?

I went to my local natural food store this week.  I normally am not that careful about checking over my receipt (I know I should be).  But this week I happened to glance over it.  I bought one small butternut squash.  Here it is next to an average sized peach.

Now imagine my shock when I saw the price!  $9.49 for one small squash!?  I know that organic produce is a little bit more expensive than conventional, but this seemed a bit excessive. 

When I looked more closely I saw that the receipt said 4.77 lbs of butternut squash.  There is no way that is a four and three quarter pound squash!  So I took it back to the store and politely asked about it.  The woman working at customer service was very nice and apologetic.  She gave me a full refund for the squash, so basically I ended up with a free butternut squash. 

A happy ending.

Failure!

Well, I told Meghan that I would have the final Felt-o-rama post ready by the end of the day today.  Obviously that has not happened.  Again, that procrastination thing.  Anyway, I have the project complete, but just realized that I cannot photograph it until tomorrow because felt does not photograph well with a flash.  I need to wait for daylight.  Hopefully Meghan will still want to be associated with my late posts and our un-punctual blog tomorrow! 

Please check back tomorrow and I promise that there will be a great felt project for you to check out.
