    On the west coast, after Halloween, people put their pumpkins in odd places to make people smile when they pass – in a row along a protruding log, on cliff faces, alongside the highway. I love it! “Happy as a pumpkin,” my son used to say!

    To welcome the pumpkin is indeed a wonderful time, love that grin you are carving

    For the first time in my life I saw a pumpkin field not far from where I live! Glorious! Love the largest pumpkin with the
    the scariest face! You’ve persuaded me to get one this year, Frank.

    The tactile imagery is as crisp as the knife that carves. Nice!

    They may get scarier as they sit outside a while.

    Around here, all the jack’o lantern type pumpkins, not sold are giving to the Richmond zoo for the elephants to play with and to eat. They love them.
