It is the perfect time of year for carving pumpkins. I don't always take part in this tradition-- sometimes scooping the insides out of a pumpkin seems a little like de-braining a living thing. I don't know, it's the same feeling I get when trying to cook spaghetti squash. Anyway, we carved pumpkins this year and ate lots of yummy fall snacks. Once I got past the stringy innards I really enjoyed it.
Clare even helped.
I would like to say the creative juices flowed from me, but I just did a (very abstract) tree on my white pumpkin. This year I chose a white pumpkin because it just looked so strange and beautiful amongst the normal orange pumpkins. Val did a beautiful Martha-inspired pumpkin, Andrew a more traditional jack-o-lantern, and Ben pulled off a lovely sailboat design.
And then, there was Karl-- who seemed to just be making a mess over in his corner of the table. The finished product, I think was remarkably impressive...
Can you tell who it is?

SARAH PALIN!
Although, before even reading, I saw the tree one, and liked it best. TRUE STORY.
This was the funnest. I wonder if they have pre-gutted pumpkins. If not, I think someone should offer that service.
The skill and patience required to carve Sarah Palin into a pumpkin is absolutely amazing!
You weren't kidding about that Sara Palin Pumpkin.
