The finished pumpkin is at the bottom of the page
I got to carve pumpkins today! After two years of missing out on my favorite Halloween tradition, due to allergies, today I got to carve again. My parents wanted to carve pumpkins again, so my little sister wouldn't miss out on childhood memories, and even though I understood why we skipped carving the last two years, I was giddy at the chance to be young while I can.
How this is possible
My allergies, have been being monitored closely by my mom, they have gotten much better with small exposure to allergens at times when I haven't eaten any histamine liberators. She watches closely to ensure I am not swelling. I ate a small bite of tomato the other day and I didn't swell. I hope this means I can grow out of my allergies completely like my mom has talked about. We will roast pumpkin seeds tomorrow, but here is how the trip to the pumpkin patch went.
I developed my allergies after a unfortunate run in with a pumpkin during a seasonal craft.
Another stroke of luck
We went to the pumpkin patch which is a fundraiser for a local church, the pumpkins are already picked off the vine, and brought into town, it is just called the pumpkin patch. The patch had been open for the last time yesterday, Oct. 31. There were sill many pumpkins left. We had already been in stores, and they were all out of pumpkins. My dad called the number on the window and asked if someone could "come down to open the patch up long enough for us to get some pumpkins." The person on the phone asked how many pumpkins we wanted "about five" told my dad that all the pumpkins left, go to a farmer to feed his pigs, we could have our pumpkins for free. We got our pumpkins and set to carving.
I carved a rendition of the starry night.
