We kicked off October with my favorite annual tradition: The Great Pumpkin Project!
It was the ghoulfriend's first time participating (which was very exciting for me and her!). It was a cooler night than usual for Central Florida, so we sat out back and carved up two jack-o'-lanterns. I don't know how, but I always forget how much fun carving pumpkins is; such a simple but fulfilling pleasure.
Mine's on the right, hers is on the left. Hers is much better than mine, I think.
We also drew up our own tags this time. I put the URL to the GPP mission page on mine, but after seeing how much space it took up, I decided to make a shortened version (tinyurl.com/GPP-Mission) for future use (the ghoulfriend put it on hers).
The gf placed hers on a retention wall along a dark but busy road. A popular bike/pedestrian path runs by as well, so it definitely got plenty of visibility!
I placed mine near a bridge along that same path. Not as much foot traffic, but hopefully one or two people saw it and appreciated it.
Afterwards, we hit up Lazy Moon Pizza for a cheese slice and a PBR. All in all a wonderful evening spent together!
