A Halloween treat …
First
of all let me apologize for not leaving any blogger comments for the
last 2 weeks. I have been up in NY state visiting my daughter Jody
and her husband Brian. A fun time was had by all and this was one of
the highlights:
Here
we see Jody in the kitchen preparing her pumpkin for the cutting
process:
Then
Jody and Brian in front of the lovely stone wall of the bridge at Patchin Mills, Pine Plains, NY.
For
many years it has been the tradition to line up the pumpkins there and set them aglow with candles inside.
John Bradley (a Patchin descendant) and Jody & Brian's friend,
has continued the tradition ever since his mom died 8 years ago. He
actually buys the pumpkins and scoops out the insides so they are
ready for decorating. This year he provided close to 100 “ready to go”
pumpkins !
Here
we have the final display … lovingly carved by the locals !

oh, Ginny.....what memories! My older son went to school in Pine Plains 41 yrs. ago. I love the looks of the lit pumpkins lining the walls. I've always been a sucker for lit candles & love all holidays. Regina
oh, Ginnie….what memories! My older son attended high school in Pine Plains 41 yrs. ago when we lived in a neighboring town. Love the lit pumpkins all along the stone wall. I've always been a sucker for candles and all holidays.
That is a nice tradition and glad to read that the neighbors all participate. How nice that the pumpkins are provided carving ready too.
