While we were working on them, we talked about various things. The first topic was "are we wasting time and food by carving pumpkins?" I guess we are very unsure about our situation and worrying too much.
But I am so happy that we did this. I don't want to regret about not enjoying my life. And you never know if we will have nice company to do these things again next year!

As you guess, the barn owl one is mine and the beautiful cat design is by Rosemary Shojaie! Since barn owl seems to be called ghost owl or death owl, I thought it would suit Halloween.
I remember in the first autumn I had here, I also made an owl jack-o'-lantern. It seems like ages ago.
