We’re all set for the little beggars

If you even need to craft some do-it-yourself body armor, you might try Florida pumpkins. Theresa went through our entire set of cutlery trying to carve this bad boy. For some reason, these freaking gourds are nearly invulnerable. Probably has something to do with the insect population down here.
