Halloween is just a few weeks
away, so its time to start thinking about (or at least getting the kids
to agree on) the type of jack-o-lantern we (they) want to have.
In Florida, carved pumpkins do not last long in the heat compared with our neighbors to the north.
Mold and decay can begin to set-in in as little as three days if left outside in the Florida sun.
Despite all the home remedies
that circulate about how to preserve a pumpkin, its best to not apply
anything to the pumpkin to try to preserve it because home remedies
could result in a fire hazard or dangerous fumes when a candle is placed
inside.
Probably one of the most visited pumpkin carving pattern websites is Disney Characters.
If you want to add a touch of
Florida to your jack-o-latern, half an orange, scoop out the flesh, and
incorporate the rind halves into your character on the outside of your
pumpkin.
If you want to add a touch of space coast to your pumpkin, the old NASA worm logo is can be carved just as it looks.
When searching for a particular
character or pumpkin style, do a Google image search rather than a web
search (It will lead you to what you want faster than going through
website after website).
