Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Oh,  I miss the trick or treater's and all that left over candy!  Because we are in a over 55,  gated community, we see no little ghosts or goblins.   I was tempted to buy some candy, but I resisted the urge.   Yah  Dawn.  

 Did you know the custom of Halloween was brought to America in the 1840's by Irish immigrants fleeing their country's potato famine. At that time, the favorite pranks in New England included tipping over outhouses and unhinging fence gates.  I knew my grandpa was a fun loving guy.  

   Have a happy day.

I love that picture and I'm wondering how you got it in there so big.  Cute scene though.  Don't feel bad about not getting trick or treater's, I live in the country and we don't have that many kids around here either that go trick or treating.  Happy Halloween to you though.
