So Much Candy ....

We had very few kids this year so

the amount of candy left over is

a bit too much for us. It will last

a long time in our little cottage!

Creating Candy.

It's hard to walk past this store and

not want to buy up all the sweets.

Chocolate, sugar, candy .... mmmm!

I would have a hard time working here.

Every thing is fresh and

made completely by hand.

The steam from the melted chocolate

adds to the frosted window design.

So many choices. It's hard to walk

by and pretend this doesn't exist!

Our Last Halloween!

Hi everyone!

Tonight we marked the final Halloween that we'll ever celebrate in this house. And possibly the last Halloween we'll ever hand candy out for. In our new home, I can't see any little trick or treaters traipsing down a treed, foggy, no light but the moonlight lane. We'll be living in a country residential rural area, where all the houses in our subdivision are on a horseshoe shaped road, except for 5 homes, 1 of which is ours, who all live down the little lane at the back. We'll still decorate and of course take our little guy into town in his costume to walk around neighborhoods where the houses are close together so he can get some great candy. I'll have many good memories of all the years we had great kids at our door, with little ones bundled up and older ones politely wishing us a "Happy Halloween!"

A sad end to a fun time for our last Halloween here. It was so quiet this year, with a bit of a misty night producing an occasional shower of light rain. Not sure where all the kids were but I'm thankful for a Halloween without snow. Fingers crossed next year, the weather is just as good!

How was your Hallowed Eve in your neighborhood?
