TURK-O’-LANTERN

As I returned home for the holidays, my mother saved a pumpkin for me to carve, knowing it’s an activity I enjoy. She had one request — a Thanksgiving-related jack-o’-lantern. We didn’t have the correct tools at hand, so I did what I could with an almost rusty nail to poke holes and a paring knife to carve out the pieces. I went with a simplified, geometric turkey design, and my mom was very pleased!
