The night that exists outside of time ....

Vincent carved our Halloween pumpkin today while David and I went to town to ship new rings off to some very lovely people. David's brother Vincent has carved alot of pumpkins over the years as a single Dad and an uncle. He was somewhat challanged by the pumpkin we had at hand here. The poor old squash had been adorning our kitchen counter since Thanksgiving and was past her prime to be sure. Still, when we arrived back home after dark, there on the old wooden table next to the greenhouse was a magnificent double sided pumpkin. It's a scene of our house and the meadow and as Vince described her "one lucky witch" making off over the moon wearing a Touch Wood Ring. The other side of the pumpkin is a close up of the ring that his happy witch is admiring upon her hand. There are no trick or treaters out here in the middle of nowhere and rarely ever visitors. The pumpkin carving was a simply a labour of love ~ one that the three of us enjoyed along with any wild critters who may have passed through the meadow last night. We thought it would be fun to share it with a wider audience. Happy Halloween & Blessings on Samhain, the Celtic New Year. Till next time (Here is a good dissertation on All Hallow's Eve should you be so inclined.)
And last but absolutely not least :) Happy Birthday Aiden. Our awesome grandson is One Year Old today.
