You know today we're in like the mid 60s and we're finally starting to get some actual clean air again. We've been witnessing a lot of wildfires kind of surrounding the Skagit Valley which where we call home and you know it's been kind of a sad 00:58 pattern here for a few years now where, you know, it gets dry in the summertime and all the vegetation from the winter gets struck by like lightning or whatever way of ignition will start. so our valley around here has been either blue skies or gray smoke filled skies. It's kind of a mix here for the last few weeks. Yeah, it's been crazy with wildfires all over the country. I just saw something, some 01:26 I don't know what the heck it's called. The thingy at the bottom of the news screen that mentioned the wildfires in Texas right now. Yes, yes, yeah. It's one of the things I learned, and this was just rather recently, but I always kind of, guess, inherently thought, oh, if you got a really wet, drenched out, rainy winter, that would kind of, you would think, make a wildfire season not as dangerous, but it's actually the opposite. 01:56 that all that hydration up in the high country causes more vegetation growth and can cause even more of a severe fire season like we've been experiencing up here in like, you know, kind of the north, you know, northwest part of the state and the country and our friends up in Canada as well. Yeah, it's bad. And I hope that you remain safe and that your property is okay for the rest of the season. 02:22 I'm in Minnesota. It is it's kind of nippy here this morning. It's a little chilly and it's partly sunny and there's no wind and We the town I live in Has something I still don't know what it is. I've lived here for six years I still don't know what causes this but every once in a while the air just smells gross It smells like fertilizer 02:50 And it's not necessarily anyone is fertilizing the fields around us. So we've got that going on. And man, at 10 o'clock last night, I thought we had a gas leak in our gas cook stove and I checked and everything was fine. I stepped outside and I was like, oh no, it's outside. So that's what I'm smelling. Yeah. And it's only once in a while, so you can put up with it, but I still don't know what causes it. Still have no idea. One of those unfortunate mysteries. 03:19 Yes, but where we live is really pretty so I will put up with it So, um, I usually say tell me a little bit about yourself and what you do and I want to hear about that But why is it Blackwood farm because Blackwood is your last name? Yes, exactly. Okay All right. Well, then tell me a little bit about yourself and what you do well What we do is my wife and I and our four kids we went and we purchased a five acre farm here 03:49 old number of years ago. And I guess just to put it real simply, what we have been doing here seasonally is we run a you pick pumpkin patch during the fall where, you know, in our town of Cedar Woolly where we live, there's not a lot of like, real like, you know, agritourism like stuff to do specifically in our town. So us and there's one other small little 04:19 patch. We both kind of opened up simultaneously close to the same time and we we open our venue, you know, we have pumpkins and you know, general public will come through. But our attraction that we kind of try to host within this is more of kind of like a traditional kind of like coming to grandma and grandpa's farm as a way I kind of try to portray it. And this comes from just my own childhood. 04:45 going to see my grandparents when I was young and when my folks lived in town before we moved out to the country. And I had so many fond memories as, you know, growing up, remembering just how excited I was to go see, you know, Grandpa Ron's barnyard, you know? And so I've kind of, in a ...
