Saturday Photo: A Rose by Any Other Name, Or What to Do When the Pumpkims Are Sold Out

Even though our kids are long grown-up and their kids are busy with other things, I like to do the Halloween thing.  Pumpkin, candy, front porch light on invitingly.

But this year I put off buying a pumpkin until too late:  the only ones in our immediate neighbourhood were huge, or from California so I decided to do something different.

Luckily we have a nice glass front door on which we've often displayed artwork.  So I got a sheet of poster board and cut out a pumpkin.  Looks rather nice, I think, but it remains to be seen whether the kids (and there are far fewer than formerly, kids grow up and move away) stop by to see what we're offering.

 Doesn't look bad, though, does it?
