I almost forgot to do a pumpkin post this year. I've been away and it just dawned on me yesterday that Halloween is next week! I put a few of mom's pumpkins out last week, but then we had a very windy day and they blew across the front lawn so I brought them in until Halloween.
Our lil pumpkin Xavier went to the Pumpkin Junction and enjoyed the cornstalks more than the pumpkins :-)
Each year I show you mom's pumpkins..she was the master :-)
"When you do it with heart, that's art!"
If you've been following my blog for a while, you may recall that Mom loved carving pumpkins and she carved at least 125 pumpkins over a ten year period. I previously did a post on her pumpkins explaining that Mom used the "carvable" foam pumpkins and Pumpkin Masters patterns. After she finished carving the pumpkin, she traced around a quarter coin on the bottom back of the pumpkin and cut a hole for the light. The trick or treaters and neighbors looked forward to the display each year. Our local TV station also featured them. After mom passed away, we distributed the pumpkins to family members. Our "pumpkin lady" left us with wonderful pumpkin memories, and Halloween will always be a fun time for our family.
Thanks for stopping by!
