No heat wave here, Rich. Going to be a high of 53 F, but sunny so a pretty nice day for Halloween. I hope you are getting some nice weather for trick or treat!

Halloween 2021 Countdown!

Happy Halloween all. Enjoy your last day of the spooky season. Take it all in.
I totally forgot about that.
The weather is near perfect. 64-58 with clear skies during Trick or Treat hours.
I’m here in the darkened front room, sitting in the glow of my tablet, drinking hot chocolate and listening, for spooks and hobgoblins, who might approach the front door, or for spirits from the other realms who take this night to push through and enjoy the crisp October weather on this night midway between summer and winter. The old ones say these visitors are what you’re feeling when you step outside and the wind swirls through the trees, you hear voices in the distance, the dogs bark, and your hair rises a bit.
Now, you may scoff at this, but consider:
When you step out tomorrow the world will be different. It will be on the lawns, on the rooftops, in the air; something golden. The Holidays will be here! While those spirits of the past were creating a Halloween diversion, they were also opening the door for the Spirits of Christmas Present and Future.
So step outside this evening, listen to the wind swirling overhead, and raise your cup in a toast to these heralds of the best time of the year.
Yes, I’ll have another hot chocolate, please.

Thank you @SolidSnake84 for this wonderful thread. It's one of the highlights of my day all year long. Looking forward to counting down to Halloween 2022 with you and all who visit the thread. Happy Halloween my friend!!!
Thanks again solidsnake84 for the great Halloween thread. On to the new count.
This is SS thread so I do not want to overstep him but I just wanted to say this has been fun and thank you to SS for doing it. As someone who does year-round threads I know it's not easy. But having everyone here who contributes makes it fun for all of us.
Yeah we all love today October 31. Halloween is awesome. But for me it's this entire last 2 months. Honestly, the Halloween Season really seems to start in late September but this 2-months of Sept/Oct together is hard to beat. And I'm so thankful I got to go apple picking, Halloween light show, Haunted Hayride, Halloween Movie & Haunted escape room. Never did 5 activities like that in one month. Next year? I hope to add the trail coming back and another event we found that promises to return in 2022. I won't do the escape room so if I do both the others I'd have 6 activities. So much fun. Looking forward to the new thread for Halloween 2022!

Looks like I'm only getting 1 group of Trick-or-Treaters this year.
Oh well, at least it beats last year when I didn't get any at all!
There's just not a lot of young kids in my neighborhood.

I didn't see them either, not any of the three nights. We have had clouds. I am going to get up middle of the night just to double check. Seeing the northern lights is on my bucket list so.........
