If it is, then wow they must be big fish. Interesting that I see the same I on two of the fishes like the last one. I've never seen a squash like that, the yellowish orange part turns green? Really nice paintings you did on your succah.

The other gourds my husband hung, and I think they had crooked tops, so they stayed up without extra fussing. The "plastic" that you see is mailing tape. I put it on top of the string that was tied on the top of the gourd. (I was going to use duct tape, but that would be rather on the ugly side. Duct tape holds anything together.) And then I added a little prayer that it would not fall unto anyone's head. Lady-Light, thanks for visiting!

Please tell me, how did you hang up your gourd? I see some plastic around the top...I have tried over the years hanging various and sundry gourds but have not found a perfect way to do it: drill a hole near the top and string it through? Tie a strong knot around the narrow neck and hang? This year, no kids for start of chag (even though the "kids" are all adults)we didn't hang nearly as much as in previous years...no energy! Lovely.

It's so nice to see everyone else's sukkah...especially those from outside our area - we have the very warm, humid and rainy weather here in Florida to contend with here so we rarely see a sukkah here that is made of wood. We visited one this year that was all PVC pipe and plastic trellis...I'll be stealing that plastic trellis idea next year to replace our shadecloth walls. Moadim L'Simcha.

Michelle, unfortunately, the knowledge of too many Jews ends at Yom Kippur. Sukkot is when the fun begins. Jannie, glad to teach your about our Jewish traditions. Felisol, how interesting to hear about a Norwegian "leaf-hall". Magiceye, glad you stopped by. Baila, I look forward to visiting you someday. Mrs. S., I think I hung five of those gourds? ID, no rain at all! Perfect weather. Gail, glad you like my J'lem painting. Robin, yeah, yours does look yummy.
