We're pretty much traditionalists when it comes to pumpkins around here.
No fancy schmancy, artistically carved gourds at our house.
No pulling out the electric tools to carve spooky scenes. Just a knife, baby.
Nope, we go for the simple, yet effective triangle eyes and nose here.
What says Happy Halloween more than that? Sometimes, traditionalism works just fine.
Wait, a pumpkin in a birdbath isn't traditional? You're kidding, right? I've always displayed my pumpkin in a birdbath since I've had a blog.
Well, I've got a date with a bag of miniature Snickers bars today. Better get started on that. Have a Happy Halloween!

That's one of the most original ideas I've seen for a Jack-O-Lantern in a long time. To put it in a birdbath. Absolutely delightful. Mind if I steal the idea for next Halloween?

Love your traditional jack-o-lantern...perfect! Enjoy those Snickers...

Minitature O Henry's for me (snuck them out of the candy box and hid them). Love Halloween pumpkins. Bird Bath base is good, very good. Happy Halloween.

Ok, now I know where I'm putting my pumpkin next year. You get 3 guesses! I'm also a traditionalist so can relate. Simple is always good. Thanks for stopping by and commenting how much you like my good will bed score!

I like the basic, happy pumpkin. The Bird Bath variety is hard to find in these parts. :<}

You better watch out for that date. Mr.Snickers will stalk you by attaching himself to your butt! I thought EVERYONE (in blogland) put their Jack-o-lanterns in the birdbath....you mean they don't? xo Diana

I think that your traditional pumpkin is the best! Love the idea of sitting it in the birdbath too!
Robin
Traditionally carved pumpkins are the best and a favorite of mine. It's how I always carve my own. Your's looks perfect perched in your birdbath surrounded by leaves. Your photos are gorgeous too!
I have a special bag of milkyways in the fridge (stashed waaayyyy in back) for me tonight! Yummy, Yummy

I'm loving the bird bath idea too.
Halloween hugs!
Tammy@Beatrice Banks
Cute! We are traditionalists too! Love the bird bath idea. I'm going to do that. The real truth of why we need more candy is b/c we've all been dipping into the bucket. Snickers are my fav!

Pam, your bathing pumpkin is adorable. Apparently I have been dating Reece's cups for about a week now. Happy Halloween. Olive
