Autumnal Avocations

Who: Open to all!
What: Miscellaneous activities
When: Friday, 10/21
Where: Farmer Carol's farm.
How: ...Walking, running, skipping, or log-rolling are all acceptable.
Why: Because I want to.

As Palom had promised, the farm indeed boasted more wholesome family fun activities than you could shake an apple at.  While the main purpose of the day trip, ostensibly, was to finish up harvesting the fruit, the opportunity to explore the farm and its rural surroundings was enticing as well.  By mid-afternoon, Farmer Carol was fully satisfied with the hard work of the volunteers and announced that they were free to do as they pleased.

[Hei seems to have a knack for this pumpkin carving business! Unfortunately that's gotten the attention of the local children, some of whom have crowded around asking him to carve their designs. Hei is taking this with surprising patience and begins to carve the pumpkins with efficiency and somewhat wavering dexterity.

You want him to do your pumpkin? Well get in line. Or casually observe the scene to offer support, snark or whatever seems fitting.]
healeveryone: Conversational smile. (it's really funny)

Wow, you're pretty good at this!

[Rosalia's sitting a few feet away, carefully trying out the carving herself and occasionally watching him.]

[He glances over at her mid-carve.]

Sure, I guess. For some reason, it just feels easy for me to--

[And his hand slips!]

2/2

[He doesn't cut himself, but that pumpkin is ruined.]

Oh, heh. Guess I got too confident.
healeveryone: Close-up: anxious. (danger is coming)

[personal profile] healeveryone 2011-10-22 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! I'm sorry for distracting you. You're not hurt or anything, are you?

[identity profile] starstrikes.livejournal.com 2011-10-22 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm fine. See?

[He shows her his hands.]

It's not your fault. I'll take it a little slower next time.
healeveryone: Smile. (Default)

[Rose breathes a sigh of relief.]

That's good! I feel sorry for that pumpkin, though.

[She looks down at her own and starts carving at it again, as if trying to make up for it.]

[He starts on another himself, more carefully this time.]

Maybe it doesn't have to go to waste. I could bring it back to my apartment and try to cook something with it.
healeveryone: Smiling; among the flowers. (to heal everyone)

[personal profile] healeveryone 2011-10-23 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's a good idea. That sounds like it'd be really tasty.

[identity profile] starstrikes.livejournal.com 2011-10-23 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It could be.

…Um, what do people normally make with pumpkins? Aside from pumpkin pie.
healeveryone: Conversational smile. (it's really funny)

[personal profile] healeveryone 2011-10-28 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
How about soup? Or maybe use it with some pasta.

There is enough here to experiment with. I can try a few different things.

There's definitely plenty of pumpkins around here. I hope you get to make something good!
