Yours portly was a bit late getting Halloween decorations up this year, but with the Spooktacular looming (it’s tomorrow night!), I had to get things done!

Naturally, that meant partaking in one of my favorite October activities:  pumpkin carving!  Today, I’m going to share a couple of videos of my pumpkin—and Murphy!

Bull Terrier and Jack O’Lantern

Shortly after I carved my pumpkin—and before I managed to clear up my flower beds!  I love how sweet Murphy is when I go inside.

Pumpkin Carving 2024

The process of carving the pumpkin.  I got caught up on the phone with a friend, so I did not document as much of the process as I would have liked, but this little video should give a reasonable depiction of how it all went down.

Have you carved your pumpkins yet, dear readers?

Happy Friday—and Happy Halloween!
