County Market had a great sale on their pumpkins and gourds today, so I went over this morning and picked up a number of each to decorate our porch. I saw these funny pumpkin men in a magazine at least four or five years ago and I try to make a couple each year. They are so easy and always make people smile. Just take 3 or more small pumpkins and gourds, drill holes through each and stick a wooden skewer through them all to keep them vertical. Drill a couple of holes for the arms (just twigs) and draw on a face with a sharpie.
Happy Fall!
