Pumpkin patch
I wish we went to a Pumpkin Patch! Just to the local Grocer Broulim's to pick out this year's future Jack-O-Laterns. Usually we do them the day of or before Halloween which I thought was silly because the day after Halloween is Novemeber and Jack-O-Laterns are no longer appropriate as Holiday seasons go. So we did our pumpkins way early! Maybe everyone has has caught onto this idea but for us it's new!

I love a good Jack O'lantern. When these get old (and pumkins will get old fast) you can always get another one and do a different design! Yea! Here is a fun fact I dug up -
ReplyDeleteA jack-o'-lantern (sometimes also spelled Jack O'Lantern) is typically a carved pumpkin. It is associated chiefly with the holiday Halloween, and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called ignis fatuus or jack-o'-lantern. In a jack-o'-lantern, typically the top is cut off, and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image, usually a monstrous face, is carved onto the outside surface, and the lid replaced. At night a light is placed inside to illuminate the effect. The term is not particularly common outside North America, although the practice of carving lanterns for Halloween is.
