Happy Halloween !!

Pumpkins, sitting on my front porch
Edinburgh, Scotland, 2009
 
 
I love carving pumpkins, though haven't done it for the past few years.  It seems kind of silly, when I live on top of a mountain by myself, and somehow I can't see the dogs getting too excited about the whole thing.  But still, it's fun.  Maybe next year...

    1. In Scotland, carving pumpkins wasn't really a thing they did, so when I started doing it people would walk past the garden gate, bring their children, and oooh and ahhh every year. It was really fun and so cool. My Scottish husband said when he was a child, they carved big turnips as there weren't any pumpkins, at least in Edinburgh.

      And hey...don't eat too many of those little trick or treat candy bars!! ;D

    1. I know! What's not to love? Gooey guts and sculpting cool faces, then lighting up the dark with the orange glow...perfect.
