Pumpkin Carving by Anne Mitchell. All images are copyrighted.
 
Do you have your pumpkin yet?  I have three.  It is daunting to think of carving three pumpkins but the opportunity is there.  We'll see. 

This autumn has been a warm one so we have taken advantage and explored small river towns in Missouri and Illinois.  No spectacular fall colors this year but new wineries, pop-up car shows and apple cider slushes have been enjoyed. When the right farm-fresh pumpkin presented itself, and fit on our bike, it came home.

Design ideas are swirling around in my head as the special night draws near.  I had better get busy.  

Just for fun, here are a few more of the pumpkins I have carved over the years. They were done old-school with a kitchen knife.
