Nov 1 2020 - Peter Pumpkin Treater

 

Someone has figured out a festive event for children at Halloween that doesn't need crowds.  it involves Peter the Pumpkin, carving the pumpkin, planting some of the seeds in a pot or the garden, marking it with a smile outline, and the next morning Peter has delivered some candy to the spot. That was devised by Julie Georgas who is the managing director for PR firm  Zeno Canada.  Her picture is on the home page of the website.   

Here's her Peter Pumpkin Treater's Poem:

Peter Peter Pumpkin Treater
Makes Halloween even sweeter
On the night before Halloween
Carve a pumpkin and save some seeds
Plant them in your garden or a special pot 
And draw a smile to mark the spot 
The seeds will grow in Peter's magic pumpkin land 
And he will thank you for lending him a hand 
A candy surprise awaits when you wake 
For all the pumpkins you helped Peter make.

So we've got Halloween covered for next year (that's my forecast imbedded in there).  

Now it is time to figure out November's festivities - ahead of Christmas red and green.  Maybe it is time for a theme of blue and silver.   I'm thinking we spray paint the pumpkins blue and set them in pots with the white birch and juniper branches.  


This grey squirrel from Gage Park  will deliver the chocolate covered nuts that are part of the November Festivities.
