The end of a pumpkin's story

I finally carved my pumpkin. You remember the surprise pumpkin growing in the front garden? Well, here it is:


I especially love Snoopy laughing manically in the background, it added to the Halloween night. The finished product is a #48 and JJ carved into it, in support of my new favorite sport and athlete, Jimmie Johnson.

I'll let you all know how that works out in the spring. As for this year, we're thoroughly enjoying the saved $12 from our surprise pumpkins, and Wilma will be enjoying them even more in a couple days.

It grew as long as the sidewalk! I didn't get a picture of its final length.
