stuff was blowing everywhere and lulu was getting boisterous before we crossed over. as soon as i let her go she sprinted all the way to the stone pedestal where i put the pumpkin before. i remembered we left it in the woods yesterday and then she remembered too and found it. i brought it out and started lofting it with my right boot and then my left hand. lulu barked at it and pounced and played like it was a pumpkin head come to life. when it went splat and i threw it back in the woods. maybe a little pumpkin patch will sprout next spring.
