On this West Virginia Morning, decorative pumpkins and Jack O’Lanterns can find a second life on your table and in the garden. We explore ways to reuse fall decorations.

Also, we have the latest edition of our occasional series, Almost Heavens. The Clay Center’s Planetarium and Science Educator, Shannon Silverman, is an astrophysicist who guides us through the cosmos above the Mountain State. Visit our website to find videos and classroom resources about the cosmos.
