It is that time of year again when food and family will be on the minds of all individuals. I love the fall and the many fun food traditions. The first major tradition for me is pumpkin carving. My brother and I are quite good at carving pumpkins, usually he draws the picture and I spend the countless hours carving it. In fact we won a pumpkin carving contest for about three years. I wish I had a picture of those pumpkins! It has been a few years since I have lived close to my brother and my pumpkins has struggled as a result. I am not an artist. Here is a picture from the last pumpkins my wife and I carved from 2009. I hope this year, since I now live close to my brother again to do a legit pumpkin with his help.... I guess we will see.
