A Pumpkin Halloween

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.”
— Henry David Thoreau


Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O-Lantern . . .


You are such a funny sight . . .


As you sit there by the window . . .


Looking out at the night.


You were once a sturdy pumpkin growing on a vine . . .


Now you are a Jack-O-Lantern, see the light shine.

Happy Halloween!

You certainly know how to dress a table right, Maria. Glad to see you popping back in! Tell Angela we miss her.

Ab.sol.utely LOVE it! music is just perfect. quotes - excellent choices. table setting - fabulous! oh how I wish my kitties would stay off my table so I could dress it up. They never bother the dinning room table until there are place settings and then it's like moths to a light and they simply can not resist.

I'm with Pat - poke a fork in Angela and tell her that she is sorely missed over on POTD.
