Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. We have had quite a start to the week as a car caught on fire in the parking lot at work and it was crazy. Fortunately, it's been put out by the fire department. Pretty scary though. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Monday is down and all of a sudden the week got better. I'm looking forward to another July weekend. I really feel this, but it it's obvious that every step we take forward at this point is a step towards Fall Preseason. We are now UNDER a week to go until 50 DAYS TO THE BERS, and of course the beginning of the 50 DAY PREVIEW TO THE BERS.

And I've mentioned this before, but please consider that we are in the final month in this thread where we have a count that is north of 100 days. July 23rd will be the last time in this thread that we have a count in triple digits. When we launched this thread on Halloween Night 2025, we had 7 main full counts at that time, with three of those counts all being well north of 300 days. Now there are only 5 main counts and only ONE count left that is north of 100 days. We are going to lose another main count before this month is over!

That's why I mention that we can all still enjoy summer, but still be mindful of what all has changed and what will continue to change as we continue our trek through July.

Think those pumpkin thoughts! Have a great day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing wel. It's a cloudy day out. And it's not the nicest but it's not been nearly as wet as Monday. Still on the cool side (for July) but I think anything not hot and humid this time of year feels cool. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Pumpkin People! Finally it's Wednesday, the early-week feelings are starting to change and later today we can literally feel the weekend energy start moving in. Doesn't Wednesday - on feel so different than Monday and Tuesday?

Double nickels till THE BERS begin here, at 55 days. I mentioned before, but that count, and the Fall Preseason count is really the only ones I'm focused on here in July. We still want to keep those October counts out ahead of us as long as we can. I mentioned yesterday, but before this month is over we will have NO MORE triple digit counts.

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
 
I’ve been going back to Michael’s every week since they started putting their Halloween merch on display. We went back yesterday evening, and even though they have a lot of stuff out right now, it looks like they are preparing to stock even more. Additionally, they have a whole “Summerween” aisle where they have traditional Halloween decor like skulls, pumpkins, and bats, but they’re all shiny and colorful and made to look like summer decor. It’s quite a jarring contrast!
 
I've gotta get to Michael's and Lowe's this week/weekend.

Happy Thursday, pumpkin people! Mini Friday has finally arrived in these parts, and hearing the reports of places like Lowes starting to put out Fall / Halloween decorations has me pretty excited and I want to go on a scavenger hunt!

We are 4 days from a major milestone in this thread - that obviously being 50 DAYS TO THE BERS, and the start of the 50 day Preview. Do not miss when this starts. I think it's the biggest event on this site outside of the Special Post Series to ring in Christmas Season.

Friends, I hope you are all well, we have cooler weather and the rains the past few days have really greened everything back up. We still need a couple of more inches to break the drought, but these little storms are chipping away that deficit. Have a great THURSDAY, folks!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! At long last, HAPPY FRIDAY to all of you! This week felt like it was dragging a little bit, and finally there's nothing that feels better than knowing it is Friday. We started this week here with everything pretty brown from the drought, and now we have beautiful greening grass and it almost looks like my front yard could stand to be mowed again. I hadn't mowed for two weeks because it was so dry!

Folks you can see on our countdowns now we are just 3 weeks away from JOL Day #6, the JOL Day that leads us straight into Fall Preseason. And that Bers count inches closer and closer to 50 DAYS, at which point we will begin the 50 DAY PREVIEW OF THE BERS, which will take us straight to September 1st. I'm loving this milder cool weather, it only gets to 84 today, and as our peak hottest days of the summer lie just a week ahead, I'm looking forward to seeing the slow cool down that always imperceptibly happens as we enter August and head towards The Bers. We also lose 40 minutes of daytime this month!

Pumpkin Friends I hope you are well and I hope everyone has a great Friday!
