To anyone not offended by it, I hope you’ve had a pleasant Halloween.  I have to be honest, this has been my best in years.  Mostly because I don’t have hordes of fifteen year olds asking for the “scariest” movie at Blockbuster.  It’s a trick question.  The answer usually isn’t the same from one person to the next.  Suffice to say, what they really wanted was plausible deniability.  When their friends complain the movie isn’t scary, they can lay the blame off on the lame dude at the video store.  But let’s move on now.

The other item contributing to the awesomeness of this Halloween was my experiment in pumpkin carving.  I planned ahead, took my time and created my best pumpkin ever.

Is it the best pumpkin ever carved?  Of course not.  But it’s the best one I’ve ever done, and I’m really proud of it.  It’s about three and half hours work.  The eyes aren’t exactly what I was hoping for, but it’s something to work on for next year.

Lynn took care of the rest of the entrance while I was busy carving.

She does nice pathway doesn’t she?

We didn’t get a huge number of trick or treaters this year, but the ones we did get liked the setup.  The perk to less visitors, is more candy left for me.  Not that I would eat it.  That would be bad.  Wouldn’t it?

Cheers, Winston
