Day 100 - Simply Sweet

Day 100! Can you believe it? Only 265 days left of my 365 Days of Halloween Blog! Today's little picture is a great reminder to myself. So many times, we try to create these huge, complicated carvings...and yes, I do like them and hold them dear...but there is still something so wonderful and magical in just the sweet smile of a little Jack O'Lantern. When we think of pumpkin carving, what comes to mind aren't portraits of the Presidents, or intricate Celtic lacework...we think of triangle eyes and nose and a jagged grin...a pumpkin that sums up all the images of Halloween into one simple smile.

It just goes to show that good things come in small packages.
