Do you Boo?

We do!

It was a Fabulous Halloween. Despite the rain. Actually, if anything the rain and wind, swirling leaves and restlessly swaying, clattering tree branches added a sort of appropriately spooky and ominous atmosphere to the whole experience.

Everyone was dressed up and bundled up and our front sidewalk was a literal parade of damp and rather bedraggled ghosts and fairies and vampires. 

And umbrellas! 

Never before have I seen so many umbrellas. 

The gutters were running rivers of water and yellow leaves. The candles inside our HUGE pumpkins (generously on loan from our out of town friends...) hissed and sizzled. 

And...drum roll please...we ran out of candy! 

That’s right. Stocked, as we were with nearly 500 pieces of candy this year, and still we ran out. Impressive and yet somewhat embarrassing.

What could we do but turn off the porch lights, go inside and warm up with hot cider and popcorn while watching It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. During which E sorted through her loot, of course. 

A very fine end to a very memorable day.

Happy Halloween!
