The sun began to set, on that special magical night...
Everyone took their places, dressed in their haunted best. Anxious for squeals of young tender voices...
Friends arrived for barbecue and caramel apples. There was pumpkin pie and lemon tart. Yummy salad with strawberries and other scrumptious morsels along with fresh delicious bread brought by a guest.
The chiminea roared with a warm fire, as very cool air descended upon the day that had been rather warm.
The greeter was so proud, happy to have such a task for this splendid spooky night. He stood tall, and smiled as big as he could.
He felt handsome and confident with his fresh pumpkin brain...
Dressed in his hand-me-down best, he cleared his throat, practicing what he would say to little children, as they tried to run away...
In the garden the adults munched and laughed and told tales of all sorts of things. They laughed quite heartily in fact, and howled with delight. Mister Scarecrow looked on in hopes of having his own fun, but there was not a child in sight down the sleepy little street...
Oh, how he longed to give one of them a fright.
Night set upon him, as he and his brother told jokes. Meanwhile, the adults played in the gypsy wagon and in the witches cottage.
Time ticked on, and soon the guests had been playing for hours, and it was time to go home...
It was clear, it would be the 10th year, that not one trick or treater had stopped by, for Mister Pumpkin-head Scarecrow to spook and make cry.
So, he has decided to keep waiting, out there under the full moon.
While showered and flannel pajama laden adults, get ready for part two of their halloween evening.
Scary movies at midnight.
So we say, Good Luck Mister Scarecrow ;)
For us big kids, it has been a delightful Halloween night, and our guests were a sheer delight. But I completely forgot to take photos. Oh well...
October is coming to a rapid close.
I think it is safe to say, it has gone by in the bat of an eye, but left magic dust floating for us to spy ;)
I hope you had a lovely Halloweeeeeeeeeeen! Cheers to a great spoooooky season, and now, on to November we go!

ps: I can't wait to hear how your evening went. Were there spoooky yummy morsels of overflowing trick or treat bags and glittered faces???
