We visited my mom this weekend to help her organize herself for winter (yes, I said THAT word, even though it’s a warm 65 degrees as I type this.) After we finished cleaning out her garden, trimming some tree limbs and outfitting her horse tank with insulation and a heater, she helped Darla to decorate a pumpkin for a fun school project. Here’s the result – may I please introduce you to “Jac”:
Notice the distinctly canine ears and snout, as well as the dog biscuit and collar! Needless to say, they both had a wonderful time creating this masterpiece. I’m so happy Darla’s teacher encouraged his students to enlist the help of family members – because Mom’s artsy-fartsy signature is clearly on this pumpkin.
This is totally an example of passing the pumpkin torch.

Hahaha I’m so glad “JAC” made it home in good shape. He is pretty cute for sure. I’m glad “JAC” (O’Lantern) gave us all something fun to do after working ourselves to death in the yard, garden, barn and pasture. Tell my favorite son-in-law that BEN-GAY will help his aches and pains….. works for me anyway…..

Ooooo I love it! Bow wow!!
Ironically, as I just posted a comment recently (can’t remember now if it was here or somewhere else) about three days before being late….today I went out to find a few pumpkins to carve tonight when G&G come and do you think I could find any? Negative. Three stores later I finally found the reject pile and salvaged a couple that will work. The trick or treat isle had the signs up but all that filled the shelves were Christmas candy!
Hugs,

Pass the Pumpkin
Cute idea for decorating a pumpkin – without a knife!

I think it’s a brilliant idea! With the kids around, it is safer without using a knife!
