"Shavin' the Mushroom"

That is what my little sister, Annie, called carving the pumpkin when she was little.

It is so funny, it has just stuck with me. I have to mindfully call it carving the pumpkin, 

my head wants to call it "Shaving the Mushroom". 

 I often do bats and oak leaves....I was wanting to branch out,

Sunflowers? Seems fall-ish, doesn't it?

In hindsight, I should have done skulls.

Maybe I will put some on here tonight.....

 I actually have a lightbulb inside.

It just shines brighter and longer.

It was cool to come downstairs in the dark this morning and see the house

illuminated with an orange glow.

The pumpkin is on the porch right outside the window

so it offers insideand outside light.
