Punkin Time

This is the first time I ever tried this style of pumpkin carving. Normally I just do cutouts. The design was influenced by the scraper I was using. Next year I think I'll get better carving tools.



We did five pumpkins this year. These guys below were carved the old fashioned way, with cutouts. A few years ago I stopped using candles and started lighting pumpkins with bicycle safety lights (LED blinkies).


Our front yard. This is about a third of the stuff I put up this year. Not pictured are all the ghouls hung about, and the stuff on the porch.


The pumpkin below was carved by our daughter. "The gremlin in the gourd," she calls it. Pic stolen from her Flickr page.

So, did you get many trick or treaters who could enjoy the decorations?

The pumkins were gorgeous on your fireplace.
