jazzfishIt's been a very long time since I carved a pumpkin. I'd almost forgotten how much it looks like a cavern filled with spiderwebs and hanging jewels, how goopy and stringy and squishy the innards are, how they coat your hand when you're cleaning them out.
I pretty well remembered my acuity with the pumpkin carving knife, which is why my jack o'lantern is a fairly normal triangle-eyed gap-toothed face. And also why the mouth is lopsided and one eye is slightly bigger than the other. It's got ears, though, which I've not come across in other pumpkins. Perhaps there will be a photo or two later.
I'd also not forgotten how good toasted roasted salted pumpkin seeds are. Like sunflower seeds, without the annoying fibrous hull.
Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and bonfires
And dancing 'til the next sunrise
Lime bars are cooling on the stove, I have eBear's latest beside me, and I'm in the process of trying to meet more people. I'm not precisely content but good things are on the horizon.
