My Tangent - Happy Jack Valentine

Afternoon,

Can I ask the question "Is there a celebrated festival or holiday, somewhere in this world that combines the symbols of a pumpkin and a Valentine heart?" I have to ask.

I'm just back from walking Taylor and the Dats, and one of my neighbors, at their gate near their front door, have an orange pumpkin sitting on display and hanging on their gate is a sparkly and shiny, large red Valentine heart. Is this "Happy Valentineen" or "Merry Jack O'Hearts"? How about "Happy Jack Valentine"?

But check this out... super-imposed over a Valentine's news update from Lowry Park Zoo. And it's just down the way from the house here in Tampa.

Well, Happy Jack Valentine!

Enjoy,

Jim
