Pumpkins

It came out that my flatmate had never carved a pumpkin, and we decided this needed to be remedied. So yesterday we carefully selected our gourds at the farmers' market* (not quite as exciting as the patch, but better than the grocery store, at least), and today we worked our creative magic:Okay, actually that's a picture of just my pumpkin. I took a picture of both of ours, but it was blurry, and then my camera battery died. But hers is cool, too (even if it doesn't boast a superhero theme).

Oh, and we made cobbler, too. And walked through a few leaf-flurries. A glorious autumnal day.

*I never know where to put the apostrophe in this phrase, if anywhere. Do the farmers possess the market? Is it one conceptual representative every-farmer who possesses it? Is it simply a market at which you find farmers, but which they don't possess? Bah. Let the apostrophe fall where it will.

What a cool pumpkin! It does look like you had an ideal fall day.

Love,

Wow, I'm very impressed at the grayscale in your pumpkin "picture!" (For example, the Bat-signal's beam is slightly illuminated, whereas the signal itself it brightly lit.)

Maybe *that* is your calling -- Pumpkin Carving Artist Extraordinaire!
