Here is my prize-winning Waterstone pumpkin. This picture was taken the day after it was created. Already it's starting to sag. If you squint and look very closely you can see the "Happy Halloween" spelled out in "branches" along the top of the tree. Those skinny letters were the first to disintegrate.
Here is the pumpkin I did tonight (while Chris was in class). I'm keeping them inside for tonight but I'm prepared for tomorrow night (and the hordes of kids that will descend on our neighborhood)
