Carving Out the Details

Who knew carving a pumpkin was so hard? It never used to be. Huge steak knife + triangles + half-moon smile = jack ‘o’ lantern. Right? Yeah, not so much, anymore. Here we go…the bane of my Saturday afternoon:

10:20 a.m. baby steps
10:43 a.m. goop
11:23 a.m. just the beginning...
11:38 a.m. utmost concentration
11:39 a.m. determination
11:40 a.m. on my way to frustration
11:42 a.m. and going...
11:49 a.m. that doesn't look too good
12:17 p.m. not even 1/2 way...
1:28 p.m. making a mess
2:53 p.m. it keeps going...
3:00 p.m. done!

    Forget about the hard-earned pumpkin piece de resistance, I simply adore your jagged shorn bangs and Princess Leia (how do you spell that Star Wars dame’s name?) cinnamon roll hair buns. Nice ‘do, girl. I scraped up the rotten pumpkin guts from my front door steps today. Every year I carve pumpkins with the kids and bake the pumpkin seeds with a special spicy chili and curry seasoning … this year I got side tracked and never actually helped them complete their pumpkins. That’s how they got on the fast track to rotten-ville. We never actually did any more than stab them a few times and didn’t even scoop out the seeds/pumpkin guts. Well done on your artful pumpkin. It looks like a labor of love.
