Fall Festivities - Part I







Halloween

Fall festivities are always fun. Of course I was excited to see the costumes of my little cousins. In my family there were cowboys, pirates, and gangsters. When I was in elementary school, I frolicked around that October evening as Snow White. That's the only costume I really remember, and I recall that I chose Snow White because she had black hair like me. Nowadays, girls who look like me can opt to be Jasmine or Pocahontas, if they are going the Disney route. But at the time Snow white was a hot trend, so I went with the flow.

My favorite is to carve pumpkins. I did carve this year and I dedicated it to my state university loyalty. Here is the story of the pumpkin I carved. 

My inspiration was the Arizona State sun logo,

 but I wasn't skilled enough to make they sun-ray dimension.

So I threw in a pitchfork, a la Sparky.

 I thought it was pretty good.
