Currently mostly what I think of has to do with my father - so to put that aside for an evening I'd like to recap the 12th Annual Carving Party with a few photos.

I can hardly believe that this (the 2nd Annual Carving) -

Has become all of these people (the 12th Annual Carving) -

The gourds this year were solid and with thick rinds...potentially a difficult winter.

I'll end with a personal favorite - one with a living plant in it's top...which I sadly set fire to the plastic pot when removing it to see how it was all put together. The carver seemed massively amused by the situation. She's good people.
