Harvest Love Page #6

---

I want to stay.

You didn't even hear the part

about school, did you?

I get it.

If we stay,

I still have to study.

Yes.

All right, I guess we're going

to stay a little longer.

Ahem.

Hello there, Luna.

Well, hello, Ronny.

You remember me.

You're not easy to forget.

Andy, this is

Ronny williamsburg.

It's Ronald now.

I hear your farm

is up for sale.

Must be what brought you

back to town.

No, it's not.

We're on vacation.

Then perhaps

I'll see you

at the harvest festival.

You'll see me there,

up on stage.

My farm has won the top prize

seven consecutive years.

You mean

your family's farm, right?

So nice to see you again, Luna.

You too, Ronny.

Hey.

Hey, I just came by

to let you know

I've got to leave

and rush over to Olympia.

I hope everything's okay?

Yeah, there's a glitch

in the paperwork for my patent,

but I've got to take care of it

by the end of today.

Sure, yeah. Of course.

Take all the time you need.

Is there anything

I can do to help?

No, no, no.

Thank you, though.

I'll be back

first thing in the morning,

and if the rain lets up tonight,

then tomorrow,

we'll start the harvest.

I've already

let the pickers know.

Great!

we'll be up bright and early.

Will...

I...

I wanted to let you know

that Andy and I are staying

an extra week.

Was kind of hoping you might.

Hey, Will!

The rain cleared up.

Bad news.

Last night's rain downed a tree,

and it's blocking the highway,

so the road's closed.

I'm going to take the detour,

but I don't know how long

that's going to take,

and I'm guessing

if I can't get through,

the pickers can't either.

Okay, so what do we do?

Let Hank know what's going on,

and call farley.

I'll get there as soon as I can.

Sounds good.

Farley, hey.

It's Luna.

I need your help.

If these don't get picked soon,

they're just going

to keep falling to the ground.

Okay.

then we need to get organized.

Since the pickers and crates

aren't here,

we're going to have to do this

ourselves.

Go around the farm,

find anything

that you can put the fruit in.

Buckets, wheelbarrows, boxes...

Get creative.

I'm going to go get Andy.

All hands on deck.

All right, guys,

let's see what we can find.

What's with the suitcase?

You going someplace?

No, it's for the pears.

Great idea!

Why don't you grab mine?

Hey!

Hey!

My goodness!

How did you manage all this?

I just put the word out,

and everyone was

happy to pitch in.

Any word from Will?

He's still on the road.

Things aren't as bad

as I thought they'd be.

Looks like you grabbed

the bull by the horns...

But I guess you are a Gilson,

after all.

Well,

it's what I'm trained to do.

I mean,

not the fruit-picking part,

but I do deal with emergencies

on a daily basis.

Looks like you've got

a bumper crop this year.

Let's get to it.

Come on, everybody.

There's Will!

I wouldn't blame you

if you wanted to fire me.

Now, why would I do

something like that?

Everyone's a little late to work

sometimes.

Speaking of work...

Hey, mom, I want

to show you something.

Honey, hi!

Is everything okay?

It is now,

but it's a kind of a long story.

Go get dad.

Come here.

Hi!

Hi.

All right.

It's harvest day,

and I want to show you both

something amazing.

Can you believe

your grandson is picking pears?

He loves it!

Of course, he does.

Exactly

what I was doing at his age.

It looks like

the two of you going

up to the farm

was just what you needed.

Yeah, it really was.

Thank you guys so much

for always looking out for me.

No matter where we are

in the world, Luna,

we're always

there for you.

Love you guys.

Love you too, sweetheart.

Don't forget

to send us some pictures.

I won't.

Bye.

Well...

What did you think of

your first harvest?

It was really...

Really fun.

And you, Dr. Gilson?

It was exhausting,

but exhilarating,

though I fear

that my suitcase will

forever smell like pears.

Mom, I think

I'm going to go inside.

Okay, I'll be in

in a few minutes

to start dinner.

Bye, Will.

That was the best day ever.

You're welcome.

I'll see you tomorrow.

So did you get everything

straightened out in Olympia?

Yeah, that part of the trip

went just fine.

Matter of fact,

while I was up there,

I managed to start looking

at some properties to buy.

In Olympia?

No, no, that's just

where the land agents are.

I'd like to look around here.

Well, then I hope

you really win that prize,

and not just because

I want you

to beat Ronny williamsburg,

but...

Because

you really deserve it.

I hope the judges agree.

See you, doc.

Yeah.

you too, Will Nash.

Okay, let's see.

We've got four burgers,

seven Turkey,

eight tuna,

two of them on rye,

and one Chinese chicken salad.

Who's that one for?

Hank.

Hey, Luna, Andy.

Hey, Tom.

How's it going?

It's a little bit hectic.

How's the harvest coming?

We are going to be

finished tomorrow, probably.

All right!

Well, see you on Saturday.

I like this place.

The restaurant?

No, Pineview.

I wish

we could live here forever.

Well, how would that work?

Well, you could be

a doctor here.

Sweetheart, I don't think

it's that simple.

You helped Bobby,

and the farmer

with the broken leg,

and even farley.

You kind of are already

the local doctor here,

aren't you?

Yeah, kind of.

Look at this one, mom!

Great harvest, everybody.

Can I offer you some pear cider

to celebrate?

You're on.

Thanks.

Sure.

To the harvest.

To the harvest.

Bet you're glad

the season's finally over?

Actually, no.

I've always found it

a little bittersweet.

What?

No, it just...

Reminds me of something

my grandfather

always used to say.

"The end of harvest season

isn't an ending.

It's a time for planting

and new beginnings."

I never really appreciated that

until now.

Like the harvest

moon got to you.

It didn't hurt,

but...

I don't know, it's just...

It's different here.

It's better.

So I was thinking

that Andy and I

might stay a while in Pineview.

That's quite a change.

I know...

But I think I might

be ready for a change.

I don't think I've ever

had a candied pear before.

Well, I know you haven't.

It's really good.

Told you so.

Hey, mom,

a pumpkin-carving context!

You should sign up

for that.

Me? I don't know anything

about carving a pumpkin.

You're a surgeon.

Isn't that kind of what

you do every day?

He's got a good point.

Come on!

It's the spirit of the thing.

Why not give it a try?

You can't be serious.

Come on, Dr. Gilson!

Please, mom?

Step right up.

Step right up.

-Okay.

-yes!

Okay.

Okay!

The rules

are pretty simple.

Each contestant has a pumpkin,

carving tools,

and 20 minutes

to do their magic.

You'll be judged

on creativity, originality,

and overall appearance.

So...

Let's get to it.

Go, mom!

Okay, contestants,

we're at the halfway point.

10 minutes to go.

Okay, that's it!

Carving tools down, please.

Contestants,

can you please turn

your pumpkins around?
