• 720,000 children have been orphaned by AIDS alone, and there are 4.6 million orphans in Ethiopia.
• Per capita, Ethiopia receives less aid than any country in Africa
• In the 90s the population (3%) grew faster than food production (2.2%)

Funny Mary...the whole front of our pumpkin was eaten by squirrels. I don't remember this happening either.
if you want a solution to the squirrel issue: you can spray the pumpkin with a hot pepper wax. and mary, the squirrels at your girlhood home were probably chased away by all the barn cats!
