Smilin' Eyes

We haven't carved a pumpkin in a few years but we have a little collection of glass ones. Here's one of them. It's sitting on a soaking wet deck railing - we've had a lot of rain recently! You can catch a tiny glimpse of the river on the right, through the trees. It's the same river that you see from time to time in both my pics and in Barry's////@poppa [when he has time to post!].

The next time you see this railing, it will probably be covered in birds. We're getting ready to start the winter feeding activities. We don't feed them in spring summer and fall, but starting in November or so, we feed them A LOT during the winter months --- about 10 lbs of sunflower seeds a day for the coldest months! Stay tuned! ;-)

Mega thanks for the super kind comments and fav's yesterday on the Monkshood.
cool

Cool looking pumpkin. My, that's a lot of seed. The birds and squirrels must love your place.

@mwarren365 haha, funny you say that, Mike! If i had a gun, i'd shoot the squirrels but then hubby would probably shoot me so that wouldn't work in the long run! the squirrels steal a lot of the seed, i just hope the birds steal it back again from their hiding places.

Cute! Have you found a way to feed just the birds? I'm looking for a squirrel-proof feeder, if there is such a thing!

Cute little guy . . looks great against the wooded texture. Love the glimpse of the woods and water. Beautiful Fall photo.

That's so cute. Better than a carved pumpkin because you can keep him forever.
October 23rd, 2011  
What a unique idea...ceramic pumpkin with a carved grin...no mess and still festive! Looks great on the wooden deck too!
October 23rd, 2011  
You don't need to carve a glass one I guess that is easier.

Great pumpkin, I look forward to seeing the bird photos from all your winter feeding :)

Saves all the hard work of carving one! This would also look good as a night shot, lit up inside.
October 23rd, 2011  
You have the right idea, all my pumpkins will become pies. Yours too?
