It's a lot of fun, but now the neighborhood expects giant carved pumpkins in our front courtyard every year! BTW, if you are in SoCal, Terri Hardin will be doing demonstration carving at McGrath's Pumpkin patch this Saturday and Sunday (10/16, 10/17). The DizKid and I are joining her on Sunday. Terri will be offering classes on Saturday and Sunday, 10/30 and 10/31 at McGraths. Just look on line for Terri Hardin and pumpkins for more details.
