On Saturday afternoon we gathered in Oaktown to carve pumpkins in Sarah's backyard and munch on very tasty food and guzzle strong libations. I'm always very stunned and impressed by the pumpkin carving novices that show up at her carving parties. A.) It fascinates me when I find out that not everybody grew up religiously carving pumpkins for Halloween since birth, because, you know, Halloween has to be celebrated by everbody... and B.) These people with no or very little experience do some really amazing pumpkin carvings. View my complete flickr photo album here.
