As dusk settles over the Shenandoah Valley, I'm ready for the little neighborhood goblins on this Halloween. The jack-o-lanterns are lit, the candy is sitting by the door, the outside lights are on, and the spooky music is playing....We don't have a lot of trick-or-treaters ... they are the neighbors' children and we love to see who is dressed as what character each year. The youngest ones usually come just before dark so I expect the first one anytime. Oops -- there goes the doorbell now....
Happy Halloween!
Update as of 6:30 we've had...
-- 2 pirates (age 8 & 10)
-- 1 cutie-pie black cat with a pink tail (age 3). She was a little dubious of my spooky music ... extra treats for all!
Update as of 7:00...
-- 5 variously costumed extremely polite young folks (ages 10-14). They all wished us Happy Halloween and thanked us. They loved the spooky music ... extra treats for all!
Meanwhile, over at Ward View ... he's having WAY too much fun blogging on a Halloween night....
Update at 8:10....
-- 4 young ladies (ages 4-11) dressed as a dragon, a bunny, and 2 princesses. All were very polite and friendly ... extra treats for all!
Last update at 10:00 ... that was it. We had 12 trick-or-treaters tonight which is about par for most years. The spooky music gets put away until next year ... and now we start thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas.
