Thanksgiving Pumpkins

Did you know that pumpkins can ripen even after they have been cut from the stem and carved? I do now! Frost comes quick in Canada so we had to cut and run with the pumpkins.[literally]

Soon after we picked out pumpkin designs from here we began carving.



My pumpkin, at the time, was ripe. My sisters was still green so she choose a different one and as I look at her once green pumpkin on the mantle, it is now sporting a tiger orange colour. I hope my pumpkin lasts till Halloween.

  
 To get the most fun out of my pumpkin I put a baby monitor in it and made it scream. No one noticed of course until I put Johnny Cash "Ride This Train" through the speaker. I hope you all had as much fun as I did on Thanksgiving Weekend!
