tashi and i carved our pumpkins this afternoon. when i removed the top from mine, i discovered a pumpkin sprout that had been growing within.
a little green surprise.
this is my halloween village. i've been making this scene on my pumpkins for like a decade now.
tashi carved an I into her pumpkin for Iliana, her classmate who was killed in a car accident just before school began.
samhain is a time to remember the dead, to welcome them back into your home.
i volunteered to make muffins for a little halloween party tomorrow in tashi's classroom. i chose a terrific apple muffin recipe but when i pulled them out of the oven they were burnt to a crisp, mostly. at least the bottoms were.
the tops were golden.
i don't dare send my daughter to school with burnt muffins. 4th graders can be very unforgiving.
but i think i'll have one. . .
