*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* It’s here….. Halloween is a fun Holiday…and I’ve discovered I can get a lot done during this twenty-four hour period of time….. It probably because of the excessive levels of sugar spinning through my metabolism….. It’s an annual internal battle that I have with myself….. Do I eat the Trick or Treat candy?………….or Don’t I?….. During August and September…I always say that I am NOT going to over-do the refined sugar intake (again)……..

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* But we did it….. One more Halloween Hunt Club Tea under our belt….. There were about forty people at our Guest Hunt event last Saturday…..

We were set up before the field came back in….. I think they got on a coyote run…but I’m really…

We’re going to have…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Yesterday was Halloween….. …..and it was predictably fun….. Today is Dìa de los Muertos…equally fun….. …..plus I like the concept….. *****(Click Here–Explicacion del Dìa de los Muertos)***** We somehow ended up with four pumpkins for Jack-O-Lanterns…(equally fun)…I got a good amount of seeds….. …..some years there aren’t that many pumpkin seeds…(probably some mega-company GMO’ing them to smithereens)….. But this year we got a bumper crop…some for drying and planting…and some for toasting and…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Oh!  Look!…It’s almost Halloween….. How did that happen?….. I know….. It was called Milton…there was an applicable meme circulating after the hurricane…let me see if I can copy it here….. I love this time of year…(after the hurricane winds die down)…it’s a pleasure to be outside…the sun is at a beautiful golden angle…there’s usually a pleasant (non-drippy/steamy/soggy) breeze…the summer’s mold is dying off….. Ahhhhhhh………….the Autumn….. Good Times….. And with it comes the fun…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I love this Holiday….. *****(Originally It Was A Carved Jack o’ Lantern Turnip)***** …..it’s an excuse to eat candy…but really…who needs an excuse to eat those bite-sized wonders?….. …..or an excuse to dress strangely…(my older daughter looked in my closet and said my wardrobe was still dated from the ’60’s and ’70’s)….. …..Don’t Touch My Fringe and Embroidered Denim or my Tie-Dye!….. And Doc Martens are time-less…. …..(a costume to some…can be someone…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** It’s here….. We’re ready….. We have all the necessary bite-sized candy….. …..(if you remember…we don’t get Trick or Treaters…we are too far out in the swamp)….. …..it’s too scary out here….. …..well really…it’s just too far between houses…and the driveways are too long….. If I were Trick or Treating…I’d hit the apartment complexes…they’d be worth the drive….. So why did I buy the big/huge economy bags of chocolates?…HA!…I’m no fool….. …..it’s the perfect…
