a dizzy life

It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living. -Terry Pratchett

A Thought For Next Halloween


I just saw this jackolantern and am feeling inspired to try something like this next year.

In other pumpkin related news, seeing how much our pumpkins' faces were caving in, we decided last night that this morning we would toss them. Then this morning we found that the local wildlife had beaten us to them. (They were on the stoop, two feet from our front door.) Presumably it was the handiwork of the clan of groundhogs that treat our yard as their family compound. That, or maybe ravaging hordes of vorpal deer, ripping the collapsing faces off our gourds, attacking us in effigy. (I like to blame the deer for everything.) Whatever it was, they did not make a big mess, so presumably it was not the wild turkeys.....
