Glass Pumpkins

Glass pumpkins have become a common home decoration at this time of year. They come in even more sizes and colors than real pumpkins. I have a small group I bought a few years ago which live next to my front door from September through Thanksgiving (after which they are replaced by poinsettia plants for Christmas).

My son Paul's High School sells pumpkins made by David Camner and his glass students - "The Paly Glass Team" - each year to raise funds for their art program. Since my kids no longer seem interested in carving real pumpkins to make Jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween, I bought three Paly art glass pumpkins to decorate my Thanksgiving table this year. One is a long purple eggplant-like shape, the other two are traditional shapes but unusual colors. Paul helped me pick them out.

How is it that you live in Willow Glen (San Jose) and your son goes to school in Palo Alto?
