Happy Halfoween! I can’t believe this is the finale of Spooky Spring. :( Where did the time go? At least it’s sunny outside today. I think our pumpkin egg hunt can go ahead as anticipated.

On the upside, now we get to anticipate the real thing! Another six months to go!

I have a lot of Halloween thoughts swirling around in my head. I need to get organized and start planning for this year.

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Some PFHB's this morning as I realize that the electric Jack O Lanterns have to come down today and I also have to change the colors on the all year tree. It's okay, If I didn't feel like this, it would mean that last month was not special. I feel this morning the same way I do after Halloween is over every year. Its a brief period of Halloween "afterglow", usually spent reminiscing and looking to the future, before we get swallowed up by Christmas Season and the amazing build that we still have to go through.

There's no Christmas season to swallow us up this morning, but there is May now, and with the arrival of May, we have all kinds of things to look forward to, mainly "The Road" opening up here towards the end of the month. We will also see 100 Days to The Bers as well, that's going to be huge.

My Halloween thought Wednesday today actually has to do with Christmas in a way.

Believe it or not, Right behind Christmas, Halloween is the second most commercial holiday in the US: Americans spend about $6.9 billion on Halloween – most of it for candy, costumes and parties. A surprisingly big chunk is also invested in Halloween costumes for pets.

I was surprised to learn that fact. I am surprised Thanksgiving is not behind Christmas, because I would figure people would spend more on big dinners, turkeys, wine, etc. But there you have it. In the retail world, Halloween is # 2.

Have a great day!

I totally believe this. You'll see a lot more Halloween commercials than Thanksgiving on TV. And a lot more movies too.
 
Evening Halloween Fans! Well it's May. Sad to see Spooky Spring end but it's necessary to move into May. A wonderful month in my opinion. One of my favorites. And the first day was beautiful here 70s and sunny. Happy Halloween!
 
So long, Spooky Spring! You were a great and gave my rainy and windy April and extra layer of feels!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Today is my final day of work before the long 3 day weekend. It's my real hope that today goes by fast!

Tomorrow will mark only 90 Days until FALL PRESEASON! I know we don't technically count that day as a milestone day, but there is a great feeling to know that 90 days is all that separates us from the gentle, gradual return of all things Autumn.

Our next proper milestone will be on Saturday, when we hit 150 DAYS TO OCTOBER.

I think the phrase for May should be "keep your eyes on the road", and it is indeed true! I can't wait to head down that road back to The Bers!

Have a great Thursday, friends!
 
I always get “spooky sad” after an extended season like Spooky Spring or Halloween ends, kind of like getting the PCBs after Christmas. Thankfully it’s only temporary, and it won’t be long before we get to indulge in the spooky all over again.

The awesome part was yesterday seeing all of the “halfway to Halloween” announcements and celebrations taking place online. At Home stores got in on the fun:

 
DAYS TO JOL DAY: 28
DAYS TO FALL PRESEASON: 90
DAYS TO THE BERS: 121
DAYS TO HALLOWEEN SEASON: 136
DAYS TO OCTOBER: 151
DAYS TO HALLOWEEN: 181


Good Morning Halloween Friends! It's not a milestone day / holiday, but it feels like one, I am off work for a three day weekend, and today marks only 90 DAYS UNTIL FALL PRE-SEASON. I went by Hobby Lobby last night, Fall has exploded in there now, as well as there being a very healthy assortment of Christmas items on the shelves. There's lots of both in there, and I can't wait to see it continue to grow over the next few weeks.

I look forward to sharing the pictures over in the Bers thread and the main Christmas Countdown.

Our next milestone is TOMORROW, when we welcome 150 DAYS TO OCTOBER!

Have a great Friday!

**MILESTONE DAY***

150 Days to October.jpg

Happy Milestone Sunday! We check the counts this morning and see that we are indeed only 150 Days from October! What an incredible milestone!

Nice round number on The Bers count too. 120 Days, a little less than FOUR MONTHS. Just seems like time flies at times.

I'm off to run the Apple Blossom 10k, it's a cool morning and it should feel great! Have a great day!
 
Good morning Halloween friends!

Woke up this morning to the feel of early Fall. It is cloudy, light rain, and coolish.

It is hard to believe how quickly we are working through the countdown. Having this countdown along with the Christmas countdown really make the time seem manageable.
