Chapter 16

In this chapter the Brende’s have a moment of panic when they realize that their pumpkins are ready to be picked way too early. They work together and get most of the pumpkins inside. They also get their molasses ready to be sold. The pumpkins make it to October and they gain around $1,000. They are pretty bored with no work to do on the farm although this gives them time to work on their Lamaze, because I have a feeling this baby is coming in about two chapters! I am wondering is $1,000 is all they need to get them through the whole year. It seems like an awfully small amount of money to support a family.

I wonder how much money goes into having a baby down there, they probably barter baby delivering skills for cow milk. that was probably unnecessary.

hopefuly they will realize it too. Their family is about to grow and they should start thinking about what future their see for the baby

Yeah John, the whole barter for baby delivering skills was a little over the top...lol. No its probably true. I don't think a $1,000 is going to cut it, but it doesn't look like the had a choice.
