How goes it?

WE are readying for the halloween season here.
The lil' grandkiddo's took their pumkins home last night, to turn them into scary Jack-O-Lanterns.... not too early though or they will rot.

Daughter said she won't put them out too early anyway, because she has already seen the smashed one's in roads near her home.

Geeze, I guess peeps who do that crummy stuff are low lifes with no lifes. Huh?! :-(

All the pumpkins we have came from my sil's garden and are large and nearly perfect for carving. :-)

We sprayed all the one's out back with cayenne pepper spray to keep any rodents from eating them.

Once carved, if you rub the inside rim with petroleum jelly, it will keep the rim from shriveling up and your Jack O' Lantern should last about 2 weeks, unless of course you have 'pumkin smashers', in your neighborhood. :-(

Also, if you rub the inside of your Jack-O-Lantern with cinnamon and nutmeg, it will smell really good when you light it up in 'FOUR' days. lol

I hate trying to carve a pumpkin with a bunch of bumps on it ...
although those do look great for the witch pumpkins. lol

Halloween is generally thought to date back to 700 B.C. to the Celts in rural England, Ireland and Scotland.

On November 1, the first day of their new year, the Celts celebrated a festival called Samhain ("sow-in"),

which signified the end of the harvest season,
the onset of winter,
and a day of
the dead

Just thought you needed to know the facts, there.
lol ;-0

Have a great day, all!!! ;-)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!!!

"the bears that come around, right up to about ten feet from the back door."

Oh, now see, I just could not live there.

Adirondack (Cindy Lou) is a dear sweet friend on this board and she is one brave lady .... she will come there and shoot those bears and hang 'em on the wall! lololol

That ain't me babe!

So nice to meet you, Carol.

Sue Z,
How did your Halloween go?

Was thinknin' of your pumpkin's..
and the vaseline trick...
*(I was takin' our pumpkin's back to
the compost pile and they were ripe..
was wonderin' about the vaseline for the
compost pile and how it worked in there??

Anyways, hope all is well, and NO BEARS..

How's Adirondack?
Haven't seen her in a bit, feelin' better?
