Pumpkins

I recently passed this field and wondered at this point in the season (once Halloween is over) is there high demand for decorative pumpkins?  What will happen to all of these?  It makes me sad to think they might just get tossed.  I would be more than happy to take a few off their hands.

Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!  We enjoyed two nights of trick or treating.  Our nieces and nephew had trick or treating last night and our neighborhood tonight.  This year we were surprised with about 27 trick or treaters compared to the single trick or treater we had last year.

Andy was a boyscout this year after he uncovered his old uniform when we reorganized the basement and found that it still fit!

Last year we ran out of time to carve our pumpkins and this year Andy was determined not to let it happen again.  He was carving while trick or treaters were coming but we still got it out before the night was over and it looked great.

BOO!

Fall Yard and Porch Decor

I love seeing all the pumpkins, mums, gourds, cornstalks, cabbages and straw in people's yards and on their porches.  The feeling of Fall is finally in the air!

Pumpkin Carving

This is the week of Halloween and like many of you we will be carving the pumpkins that have been sitting on our front steps for the past two months. I haven't decided whether to free hand it or use the templates and kit I bought last year after Halloween for super cheap. For those of you who don't want to free hand your design or buy the pricey kits you can go here at Martha Stewart's website to print free pumpkin carving templates and directions. Happy Carving!
