It is that time of year when our diets change to candy and junk food from what the kid’s or grandkid’s do not eat, or what is left from the kid’s that did not show up at your house to trick or treat! The best part though, is carving the pumpkin. I have seen some spectacular and very elaborately carved specimens over the years.
So let’s see what our members can come up with. The weather is still nice, though I think the rains are starting, so there should be lots of indoor time to get carving! Here are a couple of pumpkins we carved several years ago to get this started - Linda did the Husky and I did the crazy mosquito, art was never a strong point for me…!
You both look pretty talented to me. Great idea. I’m sorry my right arm is out of commission or I’d join in. I don’t think anyone would want to see what my left hand could come up with
I always want to eat my pumpkins, but they are the little sugar pumpkin type! Maybe I should just buy a big one to carve. It’s been many years since I’ve done that.
I sometimes line the backs of my pumpkins with tin foil and put a sheet of white paper at the front, then drop an LED flashlight in there instead of a candle. That way they’re a bit safer and the inside of the pumpkin doesn’t heat up which I assume might slow down the rotting process.
