Annie, your pumpkin carvings are AWESOME -- BUT, this is all I could think about.......we grew pumpkins in our garden(s) this year. Of course we are organic (no pesticides) and after the pumpkins got really big, we picked them and put them into the barn to "cure". Didn't help -- the squash beetles STILL found them -- and ate holes -- and they rotted. Talked to some pumpkin farmers -- pumpkins just HAVE to be treated with pesticides or else they have the same problem we did. So, I'm thinking........you carved THREE of these TOXIC fruits!!!!!!!!!!! I'm cringing. And, you did say you weren't feeling well, right?? I now use borax (the washing powder) mixed with sugar (equal parts) -- and pour that around the foundation of my house to keep away ants. May try THAT next year around some pumpkins.
