Carving Savant

We are getting pretty good at carving pumpkins. When I say "We", I mean Susan. Pictured below is a pumpkin she carved last night. This picture was taken with the flash so you can see the pumpkin and the carving.

The next picture is the same pumpkin without the flash. It's amazing how no light sheds a whole new light on the carving. It's also amazing that I can turn such a wicked phrase...and all just before Halloween. It's positively Ghoulish!

Unfortunately, this is a really pumpkin and not one of our fake craft pumpkins, so this design will be rotting away in days. It's a good thing to have it captured here for all of InterWeb Eternity.

The day ended with our traditional Neighborhood Halloween gathering. We just stayed at one place this year and everyone had a good time and drank too much wine.

Now it is time to prepare for the main event!
