Harvest Love Page #7

---

Sheriff Jackson,

could we have the verdict,

please, sir?

'Kay, starry eyes...

Looks like someone I arrested

last month...

And...

Interesting.

Well done, carvers.

Good job...

But this is

some fancy carving,

and I would let Dr. Gilson

take out my gall bladder

any day,

and that's why

she's the winner.

Mom, can Andy and I

go on the hay ride,

and then watch the

outdoor movie for kids

they're showing after?

Sure. have fun.

Man, atv ride,

a hay ride,

and an outdoor movie?

So cool, right?

How about we go

listen to some music?

Sounds good.

Since I'm officially done

for the night,

I wouldn't mind a dance

with my wife.

How about it,

you guys?

You know,

I've got to check in with

the judging committee.

I'll catch up

with you guys later.

They don't announce the winner

'til tomorrow.

Never seen Will

with jitters before.

Well, it is the top prize,

so I get that.

Shall we go

get our dancing shoes on?

You guys go ahead.

I'm going to check in

on the boys, okay,

and then have

a little look around.

See ya!

Let's do this!

See, the one

in the middle

originally started

as a single pear,

then it grew so close

to another one

that they grew together,

and they call that

a "marriage fruit."

So...

So?

How does it feel to be an

award-winning pumpkin carver?

Well, I have been asked

to carve a few pumpkins

for the Halloween dance.

So, you know,

this whole medical thing

doesn't work out,

I can always fall back

on my carving skills.

That mean you're going

to be around for Halloween?

It's looking like it.

Good.

Was kind of getting used to

having you and Andy around.

Is that farley dancing?

Well...

Not a lot of single men

of a certain age

in a small town.

He's quite in demand.

That's sweet.

What is?

Watching people in love.

Look at Tom and Nicole.

Care to give it a try?

I meant a dance.

I'm a farmer.

I'm not much of a dancer.

Yeah, but you told Andy

you don't have to be a plumber

to know how to fix a leak.

I did say that, didn't I?

You did say that.

I did.

Looks like the moon

came out just for us tonight.

Then we better

not waste it.

Well,

for a guy who doesn't

know how to dance,

you sure have

some good moves.

Think so?

I'm so sorry.

It's my mom.

It's the middle of the night

where they are.

I need to take this.

I'm so sorry.

Mom, is everything

all right?

Yep,

why don't you turn around

and see for yourself?

What?

What are you guys doing here?

Surprising you,

for starters.

The other reason

we came back

is because we got

an offer on the farm.

Andy sleeping?

Out like a light.

Okay, so tell me

about this offer on the farm.

Why are you

so concerned about it?

I told you we were

putting it on the market.

Well, yeah,

but that was before.

Before what?

Before I realized

that Andy and I belong here.

You can't sell it.

Do we have

to watch the game, mom?

Well, we're not

going to watch it.

I was kind of hoping

we'd play in it.

I got them to bend

the rules a little bit.

What do you say, slugger?

Come on, let's play!

Bobby! I'm playing, too!

All right, red.

Okay, red,

bottom of the ninth.

We've got two outs.

We're three runs down

with bases loaded.

Now we got Luna Gilson

coming to bat!

Go, mom!

Come on!

Strike one.

You can do it!

Strike two.

All right, Luna!

For a mom, you were better

than most of the dads.

Well, that's because I have

my lucky charm.

You know, I made this

when I was about your age,

after I played

in the father-son game

with grandpa.

I want you to have it.

Man,

getting that home run today

off Ronny williamsburg,

just like I did

when I was a kid,

was still awesome.

I don't think Ronny thought so.

Okay, everyone!

The top prize for this

year's harvest festival

is about to be awarded,

so can we please have

everyone head over

towards

the main pavilion.

Thank you.

Good luck!

Almost two dozen farms

throughout the state

entered their finest fruits

in this last category,

best overall pear.

Our judges considered

four factors...

Shape, taste, texture,

and skin quality.

It's with great pleasure

that we award

this year's prize

to...

Will Nash, representing

Gilson family farms

for their "Gilson Beauty"!

Hey, Marcy!

Am I calling too early?

No, I was just sitting down

for breakfast.

I have you on speaker phone.

How's everything going?

Great.

Our farm just won the big prize

at the harvest festival.

That sounds...

Quaint.

Yeah.

Listen,

I know I owe you a phone call,

and there's something

that I want

to discuss with you.

Wait 'til you hear

what I have to tell you first.

I just heard the hospital

is going to promote you

to senior consultant

of general surgery.

You got the promotion!

Pretty amazing, right?

I don't know what to say.

You're their golden girl.

No one works harder than you,

and no one deserves this

more than you do.

It is what every surgeon

works toward.

You'd be

the youngest person ever

to hold the position

at the hospital.

Yeah.

It does seem pretty crazy

to turn something

like that down.

Why would you?

Listen, Marcy,

I've got to call you back.

Andy, you up?

Yeah.

Sweetheart, are you

feeling all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I think

you're just tired, maybe,

from the exciting weekend?

Can I go outside now?

Sure...

yeah, of course.

You can eat

your breakfast later.

Just try to be quiet, okay?

Grandma and grandpa

are still asleep.

Hey.

Just the man

I was looking for.

I have something

for you.

I saw

some of your drawings...

Looked like pears and orchards.

Thought you might want to learn

a little more about them.

Thanks, Will.

Looks old.

It is old.

My dad gave that to me

when I was about your age,

and I figured you'd be

the perfect guy to get it next.

I love it.

You look like you have

something on your mind.

Everything okay?

I heard my mom talking

on the phone.

She's taking a big new job.

So you guys are leaving?

Yeah...

And everything's going to be

just like it used to be.

Hey, there you are.

Why don't you go inside

for a minute?

I've got some big news

to share with you,

grandma, and grandpa.

Bye, Will.

Thanks for the book.

See you, bud.

So, will I see you later?

I don't think so.

Got to make some plans

of my own.

So what's this big surprise

you want us to see?

This.

What do you think about

it for an office space?

It's here in Pineview.

An office?

Yeah.

I'm thinking about hanging

up my shingle here.

After all, this town

could use a doctor.

Luna, I think that's

a wonderful idea!

Don't get me wrong,

I like the idea, too.

Honey, are you sure

this is what you really want?

I've never been more sure

of anything in my entire life.

What do you think, Andy?

I think I'm confused.

Didn't you tell Marcy

we were going back to Seattle

so you could take a new job?

Where did you get

an idea like that?

I heard you on the phone

this morning.

Well then, I guess you missed

the part where I called her back
