You should be doing that in spring

If you’re lucky. The neighbor kids will chunk it out into the street.

We just remove the candle and wait for the raccoons.

$20/pumpkin. No pumpkins this year.

The pumpkin is already rotting the day after Halloween? They must have gotten it very early.

Is this a part of Festivus that I missed?

A snow shovel can have many other uses. It can be used with a rake for picking up fallen leaves. It can be used like a dustpan for sweeping up debris from an area.

My son grew some pumpkins. We had them on the front step until some animal tore into them. I guess they must have been pretty tasty.

He wasn’t carveful, pulled a back muscle.

We had 5" of Halloween snow a few years back. Not fun. Wayyyyyy too early!

Been there, done that.

We actually have a family tradition. After Thanksgiving, we take the porch pumpkins down to the creek and throw them in. Raccoons are appreciative. We call it” The Tossing O’ the Pumpkins” ceremony. Seriously. (I now return you to silly comments)

But there has to be snow on the ground first!

Large pumpkins were $4. Other option was to take a trip to a farm for photos, walk the corn maze and pay $3 a pumpkin for any size you choose.

Anyone who paid $20 for a pumpkin must have also gotten a bill of sale showing that it included ownership of a toll bridge.
