    Pumpkin In A Birdbath For Fall

    Published by Pam Kessler | 105 words. · About 1 minute to read this article. - 24 Comments

    We're pretty much traditionalists when it comes to pumpkins around here.

    A pumpkin in a birdbath may not be traditional fall decor, but it is a fun and easy way to display your outdoor Jack O Lantern for Halloween

    No fancy schmancy, artistically carved gourds at our house.

    No pulling out the electric tools to carve spooky scenes. Just a knife, baby.

      Nothing wrong with traditional! He looks cute there in the bird bath, not sure how traditional that part is LOL! But he made for a fantastic photo shoot. BTW, all our reeses are GONE..I ate too much of the boys candy.

      I like the pumpkin in the bird bath, but I heard the birds don't!
      Hope it was a great Halloween and the snickers were to your liking!
