kcwc fall 2011: day 5... and pumpkins!

autumn

It's a busy day today. Tonight starts our annual Firefighters' Haunted Hay Ride fundraiser and as we're on the route, we try to decorate up a bit on their behalf. Our neighbors have been working on their cemetery and haunted pirate ship complete with masts and zombie buccanneers but honestly, that's just not our scene. We do pumpkins.

Lots of pumpkins. Ones with silly faces, scary faces and simple jack 0' lantern triangle ones too. After the fifth one, anything goes. My neighbor also does pumpkins, usually about thirty or so, and this year she only managed to grow three. She told me she didn't know if it was worth the trouble for just a few. That made me laugh -- most people would consider three quite an undertaking.

Oh, and we're on to reduce for the kcwc challenge. Reduce the stash that is and I've traced, cut, and am ready to sew. Tomorrow. Maybe.

Great pumpkins and yes, it is worth doing just 3! As you say, most of us think one is Halloween. I love events that involve friends and neighbours. It makes it so much fun.

Thanks for stopping by and please feel free to comment -- I love reading them.  However, please do not use my images and/or text without asking my permission first. Thank you.
