Even though things are considerably different from last year and who knows what Halloween or any holiday will look like for the remainder of the year; keeping with traditions and celebrating is a way of going forward and honouring those seasonal tidings we enjoy. This year both of my children carved the pumpkins and we had an enjoyable afternoon the other day; of carving and roasting pumpkin seeds.
The benefits and joys of carving. You get to stand back and admire your efforts while the pumpkin seeds are roasting and when done roasting you get to taste your efforts too! The smell of pumpkin seeds roasting is a comforting one and reminds me of the many Halloweens that have past.
Happy Halloween... Happy Samhain... Happy Hallowtide everyone! - JD
