Pumpkins

I found that carving my pumpkins days before Halloween and allowing them to rot and mold up a bit added some great and creepy quality to the lanterns on Halloween night.

With the help of some wire hangers, and some inspiration from Bradbury's THE HALLOWEEN TREE and a book called The Abingdon Party Book (the chapter "A Halloween Frolic"), I hung some small pumpkins from the tree. I think I'll be doing this every year.
