And When October Goes ...

A little fall of rain didn't deter my neighbor. 

But there was one concession to the weather _ a canopy.

I suppose the coolest way to spend Halloween would be a hike to a cozy cabin deep in the woods, but that very idea spawned the "Friday the 13th" movies. Maybe it's just more fun to chill out with the neighbors.

That's what we do where I live. We take over a cul-de-sac, light a fire in the middle of the street, set up tables with homemade goodies and enjoy each other's company while streams of kids and parents drop by to say hello.

My pumpkin whoopie pies (see yesterday's blog) were a big hit. Gotta save that recipe, for sure. Needless to say, we all went home with warm hearts and full bellies.

Today is All Saints Day, when we're supposed to be rid of all the evil spirits of the day before. In my case, it means a longer-than-usual bicycle ride to make up for all that Halloween food!

Back to thinking about hiking. The new year will be here before you know it, so start thinking about those 2014 plans. Check out our website and join us for a hiking trip.

See you on the trails.

Ahhh! Lots of homemade treats for all the scary folks.
