Trick (it's clay)

today's date has a special meaning for me in that it was the date
that my daughter was due to be born and I really wasn't relishing
a birthday party each year on Halloween, as luck would have it
she was 10 (!) days late, and a difficult birth too , time has marched
on 29 years , where have they gone ?

This is a handbuilt pumpkin that I have made for an American friend .
