Do you receive bonus points for growing your own? It’s not exactly the ‘giant’ pumpkin seeds as advertised.

Our desk toys decided to have a little fun with pumpkins this year. The robot team created the R2D2 pumpkin.

In response, Devil Duck assembled the forces of the Dark Side for a stormtrooper pumpkin.

It all turned out well though!

The squirrels took a whack at carving my front porch pumpkin earlier this week. I’ll have to replace it.

Those are funny looking squirrels if you ask me.

I put those out there to guard the pumpkin from further incursion. Kidding it went out with the garbage today. Have to go pick up another one or two. If I put it outside it will be hollowed out in 2 days again.

Could not carve a real pumpkin, so a virtual is the best I can do.

We have squirrels like crazy at my house, and I put a massive uncarved pumpkin on the front porch, they have no interest in it. Probably because the pears and plums I missed cleaning up are fermenting and way more fun for them to eat. Now that we got 5 inches of snow, they may move to the pumpkin.

Last year we carved the pumpkin in early October, and it rotted long before Halloween. So this year we waited until much later to carve it…

I spent almost 3 hours on October 14th carving this cool cat jack-o-lantern, using red marbles in the center of the eyes.

It has sat on the front porch ever since …and this morning (Halloween) it looks evil.
