Preserving Pumpkins...for Gina and all

Misc.
My favorite new fall decoration are three wire and glass pumpkins, from Sam's, that I weave and loop a strip light through and put in front of my fireplace. The amber glow mimics a fire before it's time to start one and the lights don't get hot.

The Smokies are just magical in the fall, especially Gatlinburg. The mums, pumpkins, ribbons, cornstalk, hay bundles, etc. at every venue during Harvest Festival warm your heart. The mountains just seem to come alive with the changing colors. And that smell....!!

Gina, You mentioned pumkins going bad in the FL heat. Although fall temps are cooler here, one trick I've used for years is to wash my pumpkins in a weak bleach solution to kill the molds and fungus. They last until well after Thanksgiving. Maybe you could enjoy them inside this way.

Here's a helpful link to preserving jack-o-lanterns, too. (click here)
