Celebrating Halloween






A particularly wonderful yard sculpture.

  
Update: overnight the strange pumpkin-head bagged a skeleton.

  2. This was wonderful to see kids so happy and carefree. No prejudice or hatred here. I also enjoyed the 1951 archive shots. Lots of kids and lots of great memories. Loved seeing the large pumpkins at night, too.

  7. Halloween really is a memorable event for kids. I remember when my daughter was little she would talk about her costume weeks before the event and couldn't wait for the night to arrive. And some people really get into it with their outdoor decorations. There are a couple of houses around here where "overkill" would be the best word to describe it!
