Farewell, poor Jack
Jack-O-Lantern, that is.
I can remember as a child carving pumpkins the week before All Hallow’s and having them last until at least the middle of the next week, but something seems amiss in the patch this year.
Pookie and I murdered a couple big orange gourds last Saturday, and when I went to light them for her today I discovered that hers was soft and growing quite a nice complement of fungus, and mine was getting soft in a couple of places. After only 3 days.
What gives? Has anyone else noticed the decline in pumpkin lifetime? Let me know…
