I did put lights inside, and it seems to work just as well. Nevertheless, my version looks less than stunning, and now that my pumpkin is starting to look withered, it looks even less attractive. I LOVE those lacy pumpkins. Wow. I'm not sure I could pull it off though.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear you're all settling into a routine. I'm sure George will eventually come to love his dog walker once they get to know each other.<br /><br />We've had our furnace on for at least a month now.

There is a house on a nearby road and every year in their backyard they have a huge arrangement of jack'o'lanterns, some real and some faux set up in a semi-circle and they are lit up every night and as I drive by I take a quick look. It is an awesome sight.Jan's camerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804645068301942243noreply@blogger.com
