Inreresting from the above source - Vegetable and fruit carving is an old tradition and exists across the world. Gourds were the first plant that was domesticated for its carving potential some 10,000 years ago, and among other things, they were also carved to serve as lanterns. The Maori were the first people to carve gourds into lanterns 700 years ago.Why do we carve and display the jack o' lantern at Halloween?

Welcome to 2020 (and beyond we hope)...the year the world overturned with covid-19. This blog is intended to be an insight into my experiences this year - being wary of infection, but learning to live - see, think, wonder - differently. If you choose to comment, be supportive please. Thank you. Be safe. Namaste.
