National Pumpkin Day

It's National Pumpkin Day and Halloween is almost here. This will be the scene
in a couple of days when we get ready for the big night -- Halloween. Our jobs
divide into me drawing the faces -- usually happy (I'm not a fan of the ghost/horror
part of Halloween), and Steven doing the carving. We both can do the scraping out,
and if we put the seeds in our compost -- watch out. Pumpkins could take over
the neighbourhood.

Tonight is Saturday night.  And as I've said before -- that's movie night.  So I
hope if you celebrate Halloween, that you're carving your pumpkins (and
maybe bringing them in at night as the squirrels go crazy for pumpkin),
getting your costumes ready, and getting the candy ready for the handouts.
Little kids just love this celebration, and so do the costume party adults who
were all over Toronto today.

Have a loving your life day.
