Samuel's pumpkin is sitting in the mulch in front of the porch. I imagine the squirrels will find it soon and Smiley (as we've nicknamed him) will be no more. There is always next year, Peter. ♥ The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-90553049953497968552016-11-15T15:42:57.490-05:002016-11-15T15:42:57.490-05:00Looks like a wonderful day's worth of pumpkin ...Looks like a wonderful day's worth of pumpkin carving! We weren't quite as successful --I'd bought ours a couple of weeks before Halloween so it had sat for awhile. It wasn't until October 30th that I'd finally brought the knife to bear, and in an instant our nostrils were hit by an all-out assault. It seems I'd picked badly at the Farmers' Market and had unbeknownst brought a mostly-rotted specimen home! Needless to say this do-it-yourself stink bomb was out of the house VERY quickly --if nothing else its decaying corpse has served as an excellent seed source for area squirrels. No jack-o-lantern this year though...

It's a delight for the eyes just to stop in here. Your Halloween decorations are so cute and I always love a good fire. It adds such coziness, and I'm a fan of cozy, especially in the upcoming winter months. November has been wonderful for us so far with temps in the 60s. Just amazing. I'm sure winter will blow in soon enough.
