Jack-O'-Lanterns

It's the Jack-o'-Lantern time of year.  I never actually get around to buying and carving my own pumpkin, although I tell myself I will each year.  Maybe this will be the year I follow through!


I like the traditional look of the one in this picture, it most resembles some of the ones that I would make as a kid.  My dad would usually get creative when we would carve them together, but no matter my intention, mine would usually end up with two triangle eyes, a triangle nose and a jagged smile. It's incredible what some people can create with a hollowed out gourd-  check out the link just to see a few examples.  They are works of art made from squash! Gotta love this holiday!
