Happy Halloween! Check out this pumpkin I carved (it's supposed to be a beastly cat face):

I made borsht (vampire soup), pumpkin pie from the carved pumpkin, and roasted pumpkin seeds.

We just got back from Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Joe and I stayed at my Grandpa's ancient Victorian house near Brown University. We drove over to Massachusetts around the Berkshires for our friend's lovely, autumn wedding. The red and gold leaves were beautiful.

In other news, while I'm on submission, I completed a first draft of a new novel! I am totally excited about this one and am revising it now. A month and a half is the fastest I've ever written.

I've got a couple art posts coming up, so stay tuned!
