It's not actually a pumpkin, but some kind of very warty gourd: it will have to suffice. I just haven't had the time to rummage around in the garage for the skeleton black cats and the japanese lantern-style pumpkins and anything else that there might be in a box that's presumably labeled Hallowe'en, if only I could work out where I put it. The knobbly squash is, however, quite striking, and may be just tough and gnarly enough to deter the squirrels and raccoons who are usually quite fast to the autumnal feast.
