And, on the home front, this year's jack o'lantern, setting a carving speed record, is brought to you by the shape: Triangle.
Welcome to Terry's Place. I'm an author of mystery and romance, happy to share what I'm learning, both about writing and anything I find interesting.
I am the Pumpkin King! I'm just happy Jack Skellington came out so well. It was touch-and-go there for a while. :) We definitely have set the bar high for Joey!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the top pumpkin. I can't imagine what it took to carve the mouth. More patience than I have, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteMy pumpkin was pretty basic this year, but my husband's was amazing. Unfortunately, there are no pictures of it because the camera batteries died. Darn it.
I have a feeling we're just having a pumpkin this year, as no efforts have been expended by the resident family carver.
ReplyDeleteThere are some big carving shoes for Joey to fill, for sure.
GunDiva: yes...Jack's mouth took patience. Lots of patience. It's a good thing I'm a perfectionist! I think I spent more time on the mouth than the entire Flying Spaghetti Monster!
ReplyDeletetriangle man, triangle man... :)
ReplyDeleteI think start to finish was about 15 minutes. Not like the good old days. But at least he got it done before dark.
ReplyDeletemine took about 2 and a half hours, and included breaking a pyrex bowl. Glass is slippery when you have pumpkin guts on your hands!
