How to make a Succulent Pumpkin

How to make a Succulent Pumpkin (and save the year)

Today I’m going to show you how to make a succulent pumpkin. I predict you will not only love this project, but you will be thrilled with the results. I learned this craft by taking a class at the Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks. I don’t think the fabulous gardeners at BGO would mind that I am sharing what I’ve learned with you.

Isn’t that what we should all do? Spread our knowledge and make the world a better place?

No idea what I’m talking about? Well, I wrote my first play, and it will be performed soon in Eureka Springs as part of Five & Dime Drama Collective’s Fall Performance Series. Click HERE for more details. Yes, I’ll probably be talking about this at least until it happens November 8-10, and maybe afterwards too.?Continue Reading

Dear Sunday Letter friends,

Well, fall was fun. I hope you didn’t miss it since it only lasted a sum total of six days.

Haha.

No, really.

I know when our local news channel brings in two weather guys to bring the immediate forecast, and they have removed their suit jackets and rolled up the sleeves of their starched white shirts, things are about to get serious in the weather department.Continue Reading
