I posted one of these images a few months ago, but thought this would be a good time to show it again. To keep a bit of "Halloween" going year round, try doing this!

Last summer at a family out I brought a watermelon and this is the result. We called it a "Jack-o-Melon!"



Later in the year, while camping, we had watermelon again. I carved out this one and set it out along the edge of the road at our campsite. It was a fantastic "hit" at the campground! We had dozens of visitors stopping by to take a look at it. We put a candle in it and after dark, it became a bigger "hit."



No watermelon? You could do the same thing with a Honey Dew, or any other in-season melon from your local grocery store any time of the year!

I'm thinking of doing one for Christmas and carving a Christmas tree on a Honey Dew.

So, why not keep the "Spirit" ... (Pun intended) alive all year round!
