Carving Pumpkins

I love pumpkins sure
All those big and small are fine
The big ones are best
But the miniature ones
Can be lots of fun as well

I enjoy carving
Pumpkins into feared faces
Those creepy dark ones
Then I light them from inside
Perfect for Halloween night

I've never made one, but I can see what fun it would be. I read somewhere that some people used turnips - not so much fun to carve, I'd imagine!

We have a few in the garden..Some small ones and some that are white that are medium size..We have gourds of many varieties out there..The hummers leave here also in winter even though some who are authorities say that some over winter here I have never seen one in winter..They like a plant called Althea also..I enjoyed reading your Tanka creation..I remember years ago that I took a pumpkin to school to a kindergarten class .We carved it, one little boy was slipping the inside and the seeds.Sara

And eating the inside and the seeds..I was worried that he was going to be sick..I don't see how that he ate all that..Sara
