And may your house be safe from Tigers... :D

Oooooooo! Booooooo!

Banshees howled and things went "bump" in the night - cats were nervous: the pineapple express arrived with heavy downpours and high winds - the first rain of the season, the first rain since April - definitely a treat, not a trick.

I'd be out dancing in it Lilo. Good for you. It's a marvelous hallowe'en day here. Bright, crisp and sunny, the night shall show stars, but the moon is just starting to wax........so a sliver in the sky. I haven't heard owls much this autumn, but the coyotes are making up for them. Good night for a walk.

It's a gorgeous day, here: cloudless blue sky, brilliant sunshine and high temp near 64. If the fall color wasn't so beautiful, one might think it was spring. Since Daylight Saving Time doesn't end till Sunday morning, it won't be pitch black when the trick or treaters come around.

Lilo, great that your rains have started. Hope Mother Nature doesn't overdo it--as she often does!

We had rain and strong winds here earlier, but stopped around 6pm. I just turned out the porch light after the 204th trick-or-treater. Most of the little girls were princesses or animals, the little boys were ninjas or star wars types. The older boys and girls were scary/gory. All were very polite. Most came in large groups with at least one parent.

TWO HUNDRED AND FOUR???????????

Oh my gosh. We have had two trick or treaters in the twenty three years I have lived in this house and they were children of friends, who came with advanced warning, and driven here by their parents.

We live up a small lane. We have no outdoor lights. We are rural and there are no sidewalks. The house is 190 years old and kids would prolly think it creepy.

I buy candy each year, starting a month ahead of time. My husband and I pig out on it, and then I buy more each week. By Hallowe'en there's never any left for trick or treaters anyway and I'd have to write them a check or something. LOL. This year I didn't buy any candy this week. I made a pan of Rice Crispy treats for my DH, at his request and we ate a 9 x 13 pan of them in two hours. Now, that's scary.

We only had three kids this year which is a huge change from our Halloweens in St. Louis & Dallas. However, now that we live out in the sticks it's only the kids in the 25 houses in our sub-division & in the six years we've lived here most are past the trick-or-treat age.
