As the year winds to a close, I’ve thought about how to spice up the posts. So naturally, a soap opera came to mind! All I need is some are some interesting characters, some drama, mystery and plot twists, right? Let’s see what I can come up with:
The one that pops in my mind right away is of course, the eternal question: Corn or Beans? What will Farmer George plan next year? 
Will the family veto the old standbys in favor of something more exotic? Is there a market for rutabega?
Is there sabotage at the school? Who was devious enough to tear down the shelf-o-old-boards? And why? What kind of cruel plot is afoot? 
How about a financial crisis? Will there be enough money from last weeks Ramble sale to complete the new shed? Or will we have to sell the future contents of the shed to pay the piper?
And what of the schoolhouse? How can it ever be complete without a bell? Will this be the one? What deal can we make with the current owners to put this in it’s rightful place of glory? At what cost? 
Will Kevin and Boo ever mow their way free of the future garden patch? 
What about the field beyond Kevin? What evil does the mysterious Jimmy have in mind for the new fields? Suburban oasis? Skyscrapers? Rutabegas?
Last, a plot twist! Was it murder? A suspicious accident? Or something more nefarious? 
Only time will tell!
