It's a beautiful Fall day - you head out to your local pumpkin

patch in the hope of finding that one and only orange globe that

will captivate the youngsters, and bring some chuckles and

giggles from young and old alike. Of course, your pumpkin is

totally free of any bruises or blemishes and it definitely is in

the shape of that idea that keeps popping up in your head of the

kind of face you want to carve this year.



A smooth and evenly colored one is absolutely perfect. It should

don't despair. Soak it in water for 6-8 hours. Use a bucket or

bathtub. Let it drain and then dry it very carefully.



Come Halloween night your pumpkin will be the highlight of your

outdoor decor and your artistic talent will shine! For easier

lighting, cut the "lid" from the bottom and fit the pumpkin over

the light, instead of reaching in. A whole lot easier and safer
