It's October again and my wife is missing our Mississippi granddaughters. I can tell because she spent yesterday afternoon painting some of her yellow squash to create a Hallowe'en display out front to make our wee spooky visitors giggle a little. She loves how it turned out, adding her experience as the local children's librarian (the title comes from the last line in the popular children's book, "The Ugly Pumpkin") to the display. Hoping you like it, too, and Happy Hallowe'en to you. [The original spelling of the greeting is Hallowe'en, derived from "Hallowed Evening", taking off in the U.S. in the middle of the 19th century, when a wave of Irish immigrants left their country for America during the potato famine.]

Nik, are you out of your gourd? These will terrify the monsters approaching your porch. I hope you have plenty of Snickers, Milky Ways,and Reece's Cups to placate the poor souls' goodie bags.
You and misses have a great time!

Actually, besides the obvious candy, we also give them their choice of Hallowe'en toys like foam gliders, special bookmarks, fake witch fingertips/long nails and Hallowe'en necklaces; one of each. The kids (and parents) love the toys. We've been doing it like this for about the last ten years or more (and once I get my shop built next year, I plan to recreate a tall, black iron gate--out of wood--for at the bottom of our front steps, a replica of one seen in the original film of Shirely Jackson's "The Haunting" [scroll down a bit to see "Eleanor" asking to come through the front gate of Hill House"].

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
She did such a nice job with her creation. Did you give her the inspiration, posing for each squash? Just kidding now you know. Anyway it's a cute idea.

This situation is slowly changing. During Halloween you hear the slogan 'Trick or Treat' here more and more. If I understand correctly, Halloween is also supposed to scare people somewhat by using spooky disguises, for example. I doubt your wife has succeeded in that from looking at the lovely and funny display she created. Cheerfulness everywhere!
It even makes me smile from ear to ear, 😁 .
Anyway, when the time comes, I hope you'll have a wonderful Halloween.
