I bought a pumpkin, but I can't put it outside or the Florida heat will make it rot. So it is sitting in my dining room until Halloween. Sometimes I buy two so that both Tom and I get a chance to carve one. I don't think I will this year. I'm not all that interested.
Our granddaughter was home from college last weekend, so I got two small pumpkins for her and her brother. I thought they might like to paint them, but they insisted on carving. They turned out pretty cute.
