They may look orange, but they're really green!!

My mom was born and raised in Michigan on a dairy farm so she has lots of family there. As kids, we would love to go to the farm and help milk the cows and feed the calves gigantic bottles of some kind of stinky formula. The smell of the farm was quite strong at times and it would drift into the farm house. We would all turn our noses up to the ripe smell of manure. My uncle would always take a deep breath and say, "Mmm...smells like money to me!" I understand what my uncle was talking about now. I don't see the pumpkins as being orange...I see them as being green like money. As of last night our total pumpkin sales were $2057.50 and we still have 8 more days to sell. Unless we go over $7000 in sales, our profit will be 25% of the total sales so we've already made $514 and that does not include treat sales or donations. WE ROCK!!
