The Wednesday before Halloween, Canterbury decided to take a break from our usual, deep spiritual discussions in lieu of something more fun and seasonally appropriate. We carved pumpkins! If memory serves me correctly, we had something like 10 pumpkins of various shapes, sizes, and even colors! How wonderful!
It was wonderful to see the range of artistic designs that made their way onto the faces of these pumpkins. We had everything from UVA themed jack o'lanterns to ones which looked decidedly French, with that special exotic feel about them.
In the process of carving the pumpkins, Neal and a few others took the seeds, washed and cleaned them, then placed them in the oven to roast with a little bit of salt. The end result - delicious! Nothing is better than freshly roasted pumpkin seeds. Overall, it was a wonderful way to welcome in the latter days of Autumn before the cold of winter officially arrives :)!
Pictures should be on there way shortly. I'm waiting on one of the house residents to send me some fials via e-mail.
