Just
take a golden pumpkin
Of quite the largest size,
Cut all 'round the stem, just so,
Scrape out the inside below,
And cut two holes for eyes.
And now fix a nose beneath,
And such a great big mouth with teeth,
And you've a jack-o'-lantern!

A
Paper Butterfly
Spring
is early, or late depending on how you want to look at it with
these easy to make paper butterflies.
One Halloween, many years ago, I was roasting pumpkin
seeds. A friend came over with this nice young man who
was a helicopter pilot in the Army. We went to dinner
and had a lovely time talking. Hours later when we got
back, my tiny house was filled with smoke. I'd left the
broiler on for five hours and all the pumpkin seeds had
turned to ashes. The helicopter pilot cleaned my stove.
So I married him.
And
that is why Halloween is my favorite holiday.
