I carved 6 of the 7 pumpkins from the garden today. (The 7th was drawn on with a Sharpie pen.) I made 4 “cat-o-lanterns”, 1 with crosses, and 1 with a kitty silhouette cut out of it. (Pictures will be posted tomorrow night.) While I was doing this, I had some “help”.

Edda making sure that the pumpkins are acceptable to carve.

Freya deciding that she would conquer the pumpkin pen for her own territory.

Edda making sure the pumpkins were clean.

My mother’s kitten returned about 4:00 this morning. No injuries, no explanation, and a coat full of burrs. He is royally grounded but Mom and Dad are happy to have him back.
