the first of five

The first of the crop of pumpkins from my front yard garden was carved last night.  Four more will follow. This guy was first for a particular reason.  I had discovered that my local pub was encouraging people to donate jack-o-lanterns to its Halloween display in preparation for Halloween weekend. So eager were they to gather a large collection of pumpkins that they were offering two drinks and an appetizer to each person who contributed a jack-o-lantern.




That's all I needed to hear.  As much as I love my little pumpkin crop, I love Finbars' nachos more.  He looked happy in his new home.

A good trade.
I love the simple but effective face and the lines are very clean. Spread the joy, get some food and booze. What a great holiday.

Awesome photo! That's cool that he'll be decorating the bar, and you get free snacks!
