Morning Halloween Fans! Well back to work today for me. Maybe I'll think about one of my Halloween trails and all the stuff we had fun with during The Bers. Oh my sister scored some Halloween (I think) candy on sale. It looks like Halloween candy. Have a great day!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Happy Tuesday. Tuesdays this year will be a special day in this thread because it is the day that Halloween falls on.
Looking at the counts this morning, we are only ONE DAY from hitting the 300 Days to Halloween milestone, and getting close to a TWO - WEEK window to 100 Days to Halfoween.
Today I would like to be our first edition of "Tuesday Halloween Thought", or whatever you think would be a better name. I would like to take every Tuesday from now until October, all 39 of them lol, and just take one simple thing that we think of when we think to October / Halloween.
Today my thought is going to be Apple Butter. I know that's a strange one maybe for some people. But when I was a kid, I looked forward every year to the Apple Harvest Festival here locally. It was usually between late August and mid September. They would always make apple butter right there in person, it was amazing. And I love it. If I honestly had to pick just one thing to eat the rest of my life, fresh made bread / biscuits and Apple Butter would probably be at the top of my list.
I have a small jar that I am keeping in the refrigerator to have on Friday the 13th, and of course I will try and eat it on Jack O Lantern Day, if I still have some left and it is still fresh / edible lol.
What are you thinking of this Tuesday that you associate with Fall / October?
Have a great day!

Tuesday Halloween Thought: I miss the wonderful bright light that we have during Fall, when the sun is up on my drive to work and it makes me want to be outside after work and as many hours of the weekend as possible.
Sadly, I can't relate to apple butter as it is just not a thing down here. I have never actually had it before. I'm sure there are probably some places I could acquire some (Cracker Barrel immediately comes to mind), but Texas is not known for a bumper crop of apples.
My Tuesday Halloween thought this week is about what my wife and I call October thru December. We refer to it as "yummy season" because of all of the delicious Fall foods that are exclusive to that time of year. One of my new favorites is called "hayride bacon" which is bacon made with a blend of Fall spices, like nutmeg, pumpkin, brown sugar, etc. I first tried it last year, and it is amazing.
Tuesday Halloween Thought:
I love the smell of the freshly fallen leaves that have begun or just started to fall near Halloween. The peak colors usually a few weeks before are also great to see. I know this can just be associated with fall only, but it always makes me think of Halloween especially.

Tuesday Halloween Thought:
I love Halloween music! I really enjoy listening to the variety of songs that can fall into the category. I usually start letting Halloween music creep in sometime in August. Then after Labor Day I listen to it a lot.

As of this writing, nothing confirmed yet! I love the show though and hope it gets at least one more season!

We are also now exactly 7 days away from the 250 Day window to "Halloween Season". I think it was Coach yesterday who mentioned that our favorite months / time of the year is never that far away. And our countdowns are reflecting that, even as we are still venturing through the very early part of January.
Have a great milestone day. Maybe take a whiff of a Fall / Halloween candle. Maybe play a song or two from your Halloween playlist, if you have one. Just do you. No matter what you decide, everyone will agree that reaching a milestone day already so early in the year is a happy and encouraging time.
Have a great day!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! It's a milestone day! Congratulations to reaching the 300 Days to Halloween milestone. When today is over, there will be no more 300 level counts until we create the 2024 Halloween Countdown thread.

Get out of here, 300s! No one likes your style!
Seeing every count in the 200s or less tomorrow is going to be quite exciting! Now I'm off to listen to a few songs from the Silent Hill soundtrack.

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Happy Thursday to you all. A wonderful new set of countdowns await us this morning. There are now no more 300's in this countdown. You won't see any more until we put the 2024 Halloween Countdown thread up.
Just a couple I want to highlight this morning, we are now well under 100 days to Spooky Spring, and closing in on the two-weeks until 100 Days to Halfoween. That one really jumps out at me this morning, being so close to thinking that within 100 days, we will have completed HALF of our Journey back to Halloween.
I'm not trying to rush things too much, but I am starting to really look ahead to Friday the 13th next week. It is almost like a "warm up" day for JOL Day, or almost like a Jack O Lantern Day pre-season game. It will be our first true taste of anything Spooky, Scary, or Fall/Halloween themed. And then we do it all again in just about two weeks after that when we have JOL Day #1.
Have a great day, friends!

Guess what?! We're getting a Halloween tree! My mother-in-law is getting rid of her slim black Christmas tree and asked if we wanted it. I quickly jumped on that one and suggested to Michelle that we have a Halloween tree this year. To my surprise, she said YES. So on our next trip to Indiana, we'll be bringing it back with us.
