Haunt report:
Each year children wait eagerly for the dark and scary time of All Hallows' eve or Samhain and when I say children I also mean everyone old enough to go out and wander through shadow lined streets in search of treats. I know that I always enjoyed the mysteries of Halloween where I would cross the street to haunt each neighbor and receiving treats that kept the dentist in business.
The other side of this evening was scaring yourself silly by listening to the wind blowing through the trees and the leaves blowing around your feet. A few years back I started to decorate my sister's house to make my niece and nephews Halloween something special. Over the years it has grown and I realized this year that not only have my sister's kids enjoyed the event but all the kids in the neighborhood.
I would love to hear if you had someone that made your Halloweens special.
Yankee has a new photo gallery for Halloween decorations so you can show off what you have created that makes Halloween special in your neighborhood?
Yankee Contests:
Once again I'd like to remind everyone that all the fall contests don't finish until November 15th. In the kidzone, if your child is still drawing that fall colored image, you still have time to mail it in so it can be judged by the staff. Also the interactive foliage page is still accepting reports and all those reports count! Last but not least the Photo contest (my favorite!) can be found by clicking this link. The leaves may have left the trees for the ground, you can still visit fall through all the wonderful photography in the reader gallery.
If you find yourself with some time and you would like to discuss your foliage discoveries, you can always discuss your fall thoughts either on the Yankee foliage forum which is a great place to chat with foliage peepers from around the world. Or if you prefer the social network of Facebook, you can discuss your thoughts over on the Yankee foliage Facebook fan page.
