and the nights seeem to go on forever:

and here is a post I wrote last year about the fun I had carving a Pumpkin because I have been eagerly checking out the Pumpkin field I drive by everyday and I’m looking forward to doing a little carving SOON so here’s my carving adventure from 2021:
It’s Called:
“I Used A Big Knife”
I decided to carve my pumpkin because I wanted the seeds. Still. I almost stopped here because I thought it looked pretty cool at this point:

I was standing there, staring at that big knife stuck in my pumpkin and something in me
wanted to keep cutting. I blame feeling on all of those Halloween movie ads that are
playing all over the place.
I’ll ‘fess up. I gleefully went with my gut and started to cut away and before I know it
it was time to pop the top.
At times like this you know an autopsy saw and a hammer w/ hook would come in handy.

Surgery is going fine this point and the patient’s vitals are pumpkin-ish and holding steady.

Post- Op Update.
My dog, Hamish Macbeth, tried to eat the patient. I made him dress up like a butterfly so he’s having issues right now
