It was a snowy Halloween! (I know, you can't see it that well in the picture, but I assure you that whatever looks like cloudiness is actually snow.) I was the only one in town from our house, so I had doorbell duty. Although it was a quiet night - with the blinding snow and all - I still had fun. I ended up with 11 trick or treaters. They were a mixture of scream masks, zombies, disco girls, transformers, and the grim reaper. I bought enough candy for about 10 times that many kids, so I guess I'll have plenty of desserts and snacks for the next month. I did try to be generous even - handing out handfuls of candy, instead of a piece or two.
I learned that it isn't really possible to put a candle in your jack-o-lantern if you leave your carved pumpkin out in the frozen weather for a week. The pumpkin top freezes right on the pumpkin.
Just the same, our house's pumpkin brigade was pretty darn good looking.
Happy Halloween!
