Readers, Welcome to my blog (formerly Birds, Blooms, Books, etc). I'm entering a new decade taking on the challenge of moving from Maryland after living there 46 years and learning about my new home here in New England in the Live Free or Die state - New Hampshire. Join me as a write this new chapter of my life.

Getting ready for trick or treaters

Three pumpkins to decorate. 

The big one is carved into a jack o'lantern.  I cut off the bottom then carve the face.

The other two I used magic markers to draw on faces.

345 pieces of candy giving out two each that's enough for 172 children and teens. Our first Halloween here in 2021 we had 137 +/-.  Since all the children in the township come to the Flat where the houses are grouped closely we get a lot of kids.  I imagine some come from the neighboring township too.


I also participate in Teal Pumpkin - passing out non-food treats to kids with allergy issues. This year I have pens to give out.



I'm ready!



What will Halloween look like where you are?

It’s a non event where I live. There are virtually no kids in the neighbourhood.

We haven’t participated in some time.

Nothing here--unless Josie comes up before going with her mother to trick or treat in some other neighborhood.

Very quiet here we are tucked in the woods so no kids here.

Looks great! We had 1 kid last year, so sad. We used to get between 7 and 30, but these days they are too lazy or scared to come down our driveway. We see the cars go by on the ridge but they don't venture down our hill.
I put out a good bit of decorations both inside and outside because I enjoy them.
