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!

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.

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!

You seemed to be taking a lot of pleasure from carving that pumpkin. I wondered if I was intruding on something! 🙂
Seriously, though, half an hour?! It should take 10/15 minutes with the right carving materials. I might do a Murphy with mine this year. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

I’m a sensual guy, what can I say?
Hahaha, well, I spent a LOT of time scooping and scraping out in the insides—more than usual. The actual carving was probably ten minutes total. I just wanted to get that sucker reamed out good.

It’s the only part of Halloween I don’t like; scooping out the innards. But I guess that’s the point, isn’t it? We get to act out our own horror movie, albeit on a pumpkin! 😂

It’s the price we pay for merriment and mirth, my friend. Gotta get your hands dirty (and orange) if you want to experience all the season has to offer. 🎃
