Halloween 2024 Countdown!

[LadyLynn]

Sorry about the lighting, if I can get a better picture later I will replace this one but it felt great to get my Halloween Village out. One piece needs to be repaired again, but I am afraid it may not make it many more years.

P.S. The weedy looking patch in the background is actually horseradish, it looks good about one month a year.

That is so beautiful.

I know horseradish is hone of the things that is harvested every other year, is this your year to harvest?

 

[LadyLynn]

I'm glad you like it! I have soybeans on three sides this year, corn on the 4th! It can feel pretty empty after harvest but once it snows, it all looks beautiful.

When I think of "America's Breadbasket," your view is exactly what I visualize!

That view....

That looks like home (Indiana). Melts my heart.

The house is 100% decorated.
The spotlights are new. The LED lights inside the blowups just weren't bright enough.

DAYS TO OCTOBER: 1
DAYS TO HALLOWEEN: 31




Happy Monday Halloween Friends! And happy FINAL JOL DAY of our 2024 countdown season! I cannot believe that I'm writing those words and that TOMORROW, our wonderful month of October will be here!

Fear Fest on AMC started a few days early, and they were running marathons of "Halloween" over the weekend. So tonight, I'm going to enjoy 100% fully authentic "Halloween Grazing", as I relax on the couch and watch Halloween movies. I really haven't had an experience like that since Spooky Spring was here almost 5 months ago.

I'll probably pop back on tonight and post some thoughts as we enter the waning hours of September... Have a great day!

We're down to two counts!

My previous post is song lyrics, for anyone wondering. I haven't lost my mind...yet.

"Halloween Grazing". I really love that. I definitely relate to that.

The Halloween decor looks awsome @Rich.

As soon as I saw it, I started singing it. LOL

My exterior is completely done. The interior has been done for a couple of weeks, but I have yet to take pictures of it.

Perfect. About half of my outside stuff is up.

Evening Halloween Fans! I can't believe tomorrow is October. Just unreal. My favorite personal month of the year. I definitely am ready. Went to see Irving's Legend and it was awesome. We want to go back next year. Happy Halloween!

Excitement to turn the calendar just kicked in and I love it!

My patch has been terribly neglected. It is hard work and no one seems to want it anymore so I have not harvested any in many years. At least once a year, someone, one of my brothers or a nephew mentions wanting to come over to dig it and learn how to grind it and prep it for jars but like so many things it is always "we should" and "someday". They say after two years of not being dug that it becomes woody.
I will have to research how to revitalize it and that can be a long term project for me.

Maybe that sounds fun and maybe it doesn't. When my dad harvested and processed his, he would always send my Dave a jar. One year, I tired to bring it in with my hands too full. I dropped the jar on the back porch and of course it broke. No matter how much I scrubbed and sprayed it with the hose, it smelled like horseradish for at least six weeks!

Less than 4 hours until October.
