Hazel was so over being a comic artist. The only thing that kept her going was the thought of going out to have small adventures on the weekends over the next month.
During that time she and Will went skydiving (which was both terrifying and thrilling), hiked all around the mountain they lived on, and went down to that Halloween carnival. Neither of them had ever been in a corn maze before. Or carved a jack-o-lantern. Or had so much carnival food.
That had been a fun weekend. Once they got home they immediately set out to carve the pumpkins they picked out. Will's was a pretty sad attempt at a traditional jack-o-lantern face.
Hazel had never carved a pumpkin before but her artistic skills came out in an intricately carved forest scene after thinking about how to chip away at the surface layer of pumpkin only. Her husband had been very impressed and insisted on taking a picture of her next to it. She got one of him next to his pumpkin too just for the sake of it.
