For today's (first?) countdown to Halloween post, some trivial Jack O'Lantern news. We bought the first pumpkin this week, with an Asda order. It is meant to be a "large" pumpkin and when I saw the label, I thought they were joking. Surely this can't be a large pumpkin! It is an average one at best. Well, I should not complain: it is only £1.50 and it will most definitely not be the only pumpkin of Halloween. Oh how I miss the big ones from Montreal! But Wolfie likes it very much and is very eager to carve it soon. And by soon I mean now: since he saw the pumpkin he's been asking to make it into a Jack O'Lantern. I keep telling him that it is too early and that I don't want it to go mouldy before the 31st, he does not want to wait.

I hate it when they cut the stems off so short, too.
ReplyDeleteCute - I love Wolfies enthusiasm for the season.
ReplyDeletei can't wait to see it carved!
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice-looking pumpkin, though it might be just a little early for carving. I love the enthusiasm of Wolfe!
