The pumpkin has landed

Only one place in town has any left. Whew almost missed the boat there lol gotta have that jack o lantern
Carving to happen oh say Tuesday.

 

Good looking pumpkin rich!

Do you have a game plan, or just wing it?

 

I wing it but tend to go traditional in carving... Love this time of the year..

 

We snagged two on our last shopping trip. I told The Woman I want to carve a Toyota logo in mine. Pretty sure she rolled her eyes so hard the earth tilted...

 

15 years ago i worked in the grocery business and we ran out of pumpkins every year by this time. Nowadays every store around me has pallets and pallets of pumpkins still. Crazy

 

I have a pumpkin farm a mile from my house, they're fully stocked on pumpkins and odd looking squash. 2 blocks up from the hemp farm.

 

We did ours last night. Free hand carve, she drew the pattern on for me to cut, not too bad. I refuse to use stencils even though those are way cooler. Happy carving!

Oh the cat face one is awesome, the whole pumpkin glows, it looks fake almost. Free Harbor freight LEDs lighting them up

 

Great carving and one happy kiddo, you sir are awesome.

 

We have no pumpkin shortage here............

 

There are times when I mis being a kid in new England this time of year, the trip to the pumpkin farm was always a hit, the stuffed black bear in the corner of the store, the haunted house on one side of the property...memories are great.

 

I still like to carve pumpkin and my kids are in their 20s.
Have 4 this year to do, just wing it.

 

Is it bad luck to light them early...giving rain so sparked them up tonight.My son did 2,still have 2 more to do tomorrow.


Pumpkins grew big this year

 

We love carving pumpkins..always fun with the kids..

 

Does anyone do like I do? I cut the hole in the bottom to scoop out the guts. It leaves the stem / carrying handle intact, and it's so easy to set the jackolantern right over the lit candle or light.

 

I use a LED tea light that can change colors or stay yellow with a flicker that mimics a real candle, but that's a neat idea I never thought about

 

My pumpkin.

 

That's f***ing brilliant. Never would have thought of it.

 

Damn.....I haven't carved one yet. I didn't even put outside decorations up......they have been in the garage for over 3 weeks. My 9 yr old didn't even want to trick or treat this year until a couple of days ago.

 

Happy Halloween, everyone! Here is mine this year. Not quite right on the dimensions, but you get the idea:

 

My costume manager said pirate garb. My set manager said pirate pumpkins. I'm not the one into detailed pumpkin carving, so guess which one is mine.

 

Small pumpkin this year. I went classic 1978 Halloween the movie pumpkin.

 

Outstanding jack o lanterns folks...mine is now wild animal feed in the woods behind the house....gone but not forgotten.. to rise again next year, well hopefully.

 

Never heard of a shortage of pumpkins.

I watch them rot in the fields after the 30th
