Last year we moved in October and I practically skipped Hallowe'en; I promised Sam (see the movie Trick 'r Treat) and myself that 2020 would be different and I would unpack EVERYTHING. And so it begins...
Of course, Mother Nature is setting the tone and presenting a stunning, traditional launch to my favorite season. Take a look at those colors!
WOW!
While some stores seem to have cancelled their Hallowe'en offerings and jumped right into Christmas, I did find a good selection at the Dollarama and other dollar stores. Zehrs also had some nice skellies, like the dog with the bone and the hummingbird:
And I'm baking, Day of the Dead Bread to start (getting the hardest done first!). Here's the dough before it went into the oven, lovely! The smell of fresh baking bread with orange zest is something else on a cool October day!
And although COVID19 will butcher trick-or-treating, that doesn't mean we can't have fun this Hallowe'en! We are decorating, and it looks like some of our neighbours are getting a head start too!
And here's our house so far: pumpkin lights and the "oldies" in the windows with one small ghost in the garden bed.
More to come! I'm really enjoying opening all the boxes and finding forgotten treasures!
