Happy Halloween!

This year to celebrate halloween, I grew my own pumpkin. But instead of me carving it, I decided I would commission the local wildlife to carve my pumpkin for me. So, I left it outside and let them do their work, and here is the end result:


Instead of the traditional "carve a face out" strategy, it appeared to be a "gnaw at the top to make a face with the stem being a nose" type of strategy. And it looks like there's a little more gnawing than that in completely unrelated areas of the pumpkin.

Unacceptable. I think next year I should commission some more artistic critters. Or, I dunno, maybe do it myself.
