Bah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!  This pumpkin is an experiment in composting. The question is: will it totally collapse before it is put into the compost bin about 3 feet to the right? 

Oh, one more thing, the pumpkin is sitting on a Habs car mat. Does that add to the scariness? 

From last year's pumpkins came the challenge... how do we represent each member of our family?  Young John wanted a scary pumpkin.  His pumpkin was SO SCARY, that our pumpkins were shaking in their boots (if they had boots, that is).  Now, this year, we get to do it again.  So much pumpkin carnage!
