Okay… this is really, really weird. I saw that one of the Seminole pumpkin I had growing on the fence was ready to be harvested, so I cut it down… only to see that the side of it facing the street had two crudely carved “eyes” in it…
Seminole pumpkin Jack-o-lantern?
First thing I did was ask my kids if anyone had been testing out one of their pocket knives in a naughty manner.
Nope.
And in fact, my children are probably too small to make such deep gouges. One of them suggested the neighbor’s cat might have done it. (It’s a black cat, incidentally, so there is some logic there. Heh.)
Anyhow, what kind of a goofball would half-carve a Jack o’ Lantern out of someone else’s pumpkin while it was still on the vine? We’ve got a quiet, pretty, friendly and rather boring neighborhood.
Perhaps too boring…
