Halloween was incomplete this year.
We got busy,
life got in the way,
and Jeff and I
weren’t able to carve pumpkins
together.
But we learned
pumpkins are a lot heartier
than we knew,
because way back in October,
the week of Halloween,
I bought one,
only one
since we were limited on time –
so limited that it sat uncarved
until mid-December.
It didn’t rot,
so we thought we’d try
something different
with it,
because why not?
And Jeff got to use a drill,
which he loved!
So surprise
to you and us.
Jeff and I are able to say
Merry Christmas
with a freshly “carved” pumpkin!
