#Gourds. The Cube cycles the time, date, and temperature by default.
#Gourds The GE microwave displays the code for power failure (PF) upon being plugged in, and to enable it to run you have to press Cancel. Intuitive.
These dipper #gourds, on trellis, made cooling shade for the hot sunny side of our home. Now that frost has arrived, time to dry them for future function.
Incidentally, I notice that Mastodon seems to dislike iCloud's .heic #photo formatting, so I saved them as .jpgs and they pasted here just fine.

I had a children's book called (I think) The Magic Gourds. It was based on a Korean folk tale about two brothers, one good (Hungbu) and one evil /greedy (Nolbu). The evil Nolbu tricks the good Hungbu out of the family inheritance.
Hungbu and his wife and children are good but poor. Hungbu helps an injured bird, who reward him by bringing him a gourd. They plant the seeds, and out of the gourds that grow come riches and fine clothes and they grow wealthy.
Nolbu hears of this and in his greed, injures a bird only to help it. The bird brings him a different gourd. He and his family plant the seeds, but this time out of the gourds that grow come nasty critters that hurt them and destroy their riches. They realise the error of their ways and everyone lives happy ever after...
