Is there anything more delicious than a rudely carved pumpkin? We have had wet weather for the last couple of days, and the grey skies, (slightly) cooling temps, and carpeting of leaves are bringing out my holiday spirit. Andy visited the Publix pumpkin patch today, and I dove right in. Mimi and I made quick work out of scooping out the first one. She directed the shapes for the face. After seeing the completed work, Tucker drew his design out for me to carve. Lauren has elected to wait and paint her pumpkin. And that is cool, but for me, the first fiery glow from a crooked jack o'lantern smile makes me want to curl up under some covers and watch a scary show, which tonight means the GOP debate. Spooky.
