Spooky - Grandma's pumpkin

It was fun cutting up that pumpkin, but it's very fresh and I'm worried it won't make it until Halloween.  I used my pumpkin tools to decorate.  I have a power cutter for pumpkins, but it kept getting stuck.  It's better to stick with those little orange tools you can buy for a few dollars.

Here I'm threatening it with a screw driver.
Not yet, I've got a lot of carving to do.

I decided to use the part of the pumpkin that lay on the ground to make my ghostie.  I thought that ugly surface would make an ugly pumpkin.

Here I am making a little progress with
my battery-operated power tool.  

Now and then an escapee hit the floor.

My ghost is taking shape.  I decided
to put a baby ghost in its tummy.

I test it with a candle inside, but
my flash goes off.  Rats!

At the end of the driveway there's a stump
from a palm tree that used to grow there.
It makes a fine place for a pumpkin.

Time to go outside and light it.
Happy Halloween!
BOO!
