Good Morning Halloween Friends! We've moved forward one day in "the week before". Today should not be as crazy as yesterday but might have the potential to feel "dragging". It's too exciting to think about how this weekend will feel and the magic that's in the air so thick you could cut it with a knife!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! It's a beautiful sunny day here today. It's still chilly though. But the wind isn't as bad. Hopefully that continues as it looks like we will start getting milder the next several days and the wind will drop off. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends!

Finally we are at mid week on "The Week Before". I can almost see the weekend popping out from the clouds. Legend has it that this coming weekend is Coach's favorite weekend out of the entire year.

Some milestones are popping into view too - 5 days from today will be 250 DAYS TO FALL PRESEASON, and we are now ONE WEEK from the 300 DAYS TO HALLOWEEN SEASON milestone. I remind everyone that we started this new countdown thread with three counts that were well above 300+ days, and we are going to see one of those counts exit the 300's before the month is out. Thanksgiving Day to be exact!

Have a great day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. It's a chilly day here but not bad because there's really no wind. Sometimes I watch the long range forecasts and it seems like they change every day. Better off to look at the 7 day forecast the most. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! It's finally Thursday!

Mini Friday mentally as we head into "the weekend before" Thanksgiving. I can't believe we are here.

Halloween feels far behind me now, I'm not going to lie. I miss it sometimes, but always get a smile on my face when I think about the upcoming 2026 "season" and all the milestone days and Jack O Lantern Days along the way. Four days away from another milestone now!

Have a great day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well on this Thursday. We have a nice day here. It's sunny and 46 degrees without any wind. This time of year you kind of take that weather and realize it's pretty nice out. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Pumpkin People!

We finally made it to Friday!! "The weekend before" Thanksgiving is finally here.

And the Great Turkey Thaw probably starts on Sunday for most people. It is an exciting time for sure.

Our Halloween counts are just ticking down in the background while we fully embrace Thanksgiving and Christmas Season.

Have a great day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well on this Friday. We have a cloudy day here but it's not bad out. It's 48 degrees. It's funny how 40s now feels ok to me. It's all about adapting to the different seasons. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends!

"The Weekend Before" is here! We were smart and went to Costco last night. It was busy, but not near what it will be like today and as we get closer to Thursday.

Also it made me smile a little bit to see the updated "weeks" counts and see that we no longer have a 50 count to Halloween. Like I always say, these counts are all running in the background while we are all enjoying Christmas Season. We'll be back to really chasing them soon enough though, so let's make the most of this time!

Our next milestone will be on MONDAY when we reach 250 DAYS TO FALL PRESEASON. Wow!

Have a great day! The Great Turkey Thaw begins tomorrow!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! This is definitely the weekend everyone in the world has totally forgotten about Halloween Season now. Ahh it's ok because we still will think about it and yet we have the Christmas Season coming. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends!

The Sunday Before Thanksgiving is now upon us, The Great Turkey Thaw is now here for most people. And once again we find ourselves on the eve of another milestone!

Tomorrow we will hit 250 DAYS TO FALL PRESEASON 2026. That's always one of my favorite milestones every year this time at the beginning of our new countdown. Later this week, we will see our first 300 day window - 300 DAYS TO HALLOWEEN SEASON. And then something special happens on Thanksgiving - we lose our first of three 300+ level counts!

Today is going to be a pretty nice day, and all that's on the books for me today is to continuing cleaning up my back yard. I did the dog clean up yesterday, and also had a small fire in the fire ring of all of the sticks and junk that came down during our last wind storm. Then I'll mulch leaves. I might only have one more mulching after this, just about all of the leaves are off the trees now.

Have a great day! Thaw those turkeys!

Hello Halloween Fans! The Sunday Group is heading to the city. Pretty amazing but we have 300 days still to plan Fall/Halloween Season 2026. That's a good thing. But obviously everyone is excited for Thanksgiving now. Happy Halloween!

**MILESTONE DAY**

250 Days Fall Preseason.jpg

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Happy Milestone Day! You can see from the happy billboard above that it's now 250 Days until Fall Pre-Season. So check this out folks, 250 Days is a long way away. I have been playing with Gemini's new AI Thinking interface called Nano Banana. I asked it to create the same thing:

While the text on the billboard is much clearer, this picture I feel is a little "depressing". The billboard is ragged and decrepit, sit in the middle of a desolate field, and we can only see Fall off in the very far distance. This hits the feels, and not in a good way.

We are now in Thanksgiving week. This might be the best week of the entire year. I work today and tomorrow and am off for the rest of the week. I won't have this much time off again until the week of Christmas where I am off for an entire week.

Our next milestone will be on Wednesday when we reach 300 DAYS TO HALLOWEEN SEASON. On Thanksgiving Day, we will lose our very first 300 level count. That's exciting!! I hope everyone has a great day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! 300 days till our wonderful season. Unbelievable on the verge of the Christmas Season here which many consider starting on Thanksgiving Day. What a milestone today is for Halloween Fans ironically. Happy Halloween!

Happy Tuesday Folks!! And it looks like it's milestone eve again!

That's right, tomorrow we will hit 300 Days to Halloween Season. It's OUR Season, and it's the one we chase all 365 days a year. On Thursday we will lose our first 300 level count.

Today is my last work day for the rest of the week. I'm excited to have time to be home and relax! Have a great day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! As much as everyone forgot about us at this point it will only increase the next 1-2 days. But I love having this group through the holiday season. I'm excited for it and yet still happy about the Halloween Season. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Pumpkin People! It's a milestone day once again!

And it's happening on Thanksgiving Eve! It's truly a magical day.

Edge mentioned it and he's totally right - we, the hardcore Halloween lovers are kind of being forgotten about now that we are in the heart of Thanksgiving and Christmas Season. Like I always say, Halloween has to stay in my heart now for a little while until it's time to get back to hardcore counting.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving Eve! Tomorrow we eat until we drop! Literally!
