On Kristins birthday a few weeks ago we went pumpkin picking!
We drove to a farm about an hour away and they had a few massive fields full of pumpkins of all shapes, sizes and colours!
Kristin searched for just the right pumpkin for Jack-o-lantern carving, and I just grabbed any old vegetable 🙂
With raw material secured, it was time to carve some Halloween decorations:
As you can see Kristin is quite proficient! My attempts were comparatively modest. Here’s the finished display:
That was 3 weeks ago almost to the day. And now we arrive at Halloween, and our pumpkin buddies haven’t fared so well. I took a photo every few days to document their aging process:
As you can see they’ve been nibbled on by savage beasts and infected by some evil rot. Both are now full of poisonous liquids and smell of death. In short: they become the perfect Halloween decorations!
Right now we’re at the drive-in for their Halloween extravaganza (two films, cider and donuts and some sort of special stage show!). I hope your Halloween is as much fun, and you’re not too scared by monsters 😉
As a bonus, here’s a two-month ‘timelapse’ of a chrysanthemum we bought for our front step:
The carvings on the pumpkins were very good but the outside weather condition made them extra special for Halloween. Great work. The Chrysanthemums in the ‘time lapse’ photos are excellent. I can’t get over how well they grew and the colour of them is beautiful.
