Pumpkin carving begins

Last night, Margaret and William made a horrifyingly good start at the jack-o-lantern carving. The small pumpkins are from Gertrud, grown on the farm. They are sweeter and good for cooking but I've never liked eating pumpkin pie. The first bite is usually good if the mix of spices is right, but the second bite is never as good at the first. The third is almost impossible. Thus, we roast the seeds and that's it.
