We recently went to the village and saw a spectacular display...aptly named Pumpkin Inferno. What you will see is a small example from 6 thousand carved pumpkins, including Jack in the boxes, huge carved archways, Chinese lanterns, monarch butterflies, etc.

| So I'll close with a drawing of Edgar Allan Poe; he definitely fits in with the season. Who can forget his poem The Raven. |
Have a safe and happy Hallowe'en! | |
What is it about pumpkins that are so appealing, at least to me? Now gnomes don't do much for me or clowns, but pumpkins are diverse. Not only are they yummy in certain recipes, but they can be lanterns, plain, scary, funny, and pretty. I sure enjoyed this post and all the harvest colors. :)
ReplyDeleteIn the last few years, fall has grown on me more and more. So much beauty to see/discover. I ran across Goblin pumpkins, too. They have warts! Funny looking. The pics are on instagram if you would like to see them, although you probably have seen them out that-a-way.
DeleteEnjoy all those falling leaves...
Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful pumpkin displays. I would have love to see them in person. Your portrait of Poe is quite amazing!! Great work, Dixie!
