What to do with leftover pumpkins:

So, Halloween's over, the pumpkin seeds have been eaten, and there was our old jack-O-lantern ready to start rotting. Do we throw it away? Not in Alaska. Last week I went downstairs to answer the phone and happened to look out our front window, and saw this!

The moose hung out and chowed down our pumpkin, minus the candle, for about 10 minutes before he headed down the street to look for some more treats. I guess moose absolutely love pumpkins. Some of our friends' pumpkins were eaten too. The moose had eaten most of our pumpkin except for the base that day, but the next day we noticed he must have come back and finished that off too. I felt pretty good about recycling our pumpkin this way--it was enjoyed by more than just our family!
