Pumpkin Vandals

Back around the beginning of November, we had pumpkins sitting on our front porch. The kids had carved them into jack-o-lanterns, so they were just sitting there looking nice.
One morning, however, I opened the door to find that someone had vandalized them during the night.
It was more than just a smashing, as they evidently took some time mashing them up..
It was disconcerting that someone had taken the time to find our secluded house solely for the sake of ruining our kids’ carvings, as I didn’t see anything else amiss.
But then I looked closer.
And I saw claw marks.
I revised my guess about what happened to include raccoons instead of teenaged humans. And it restored my faith in our little neighborhood.
And now all its carved work They smash with hatchet and hammers.
Psalm 74:6
