merry Hallowe'en!

First, thank you to all those who expressed such kind thoughts and words on my last post as I struggled with a feeling of helplessness...paired with the mounting frustration that our vet would not reply to my calls, or at the very least, have an on-call replacement available. In my eyes, the welfare of an animal should always come before personal niceties...a letter has been sent. While I don't expect a reply, I feel as if I've done all that I can do. And just maybe, he will think twice and return a desperate call from the next client who finds herself in the same situation.

Hallowe'en...I have to say, I just love it! No, not the gruesome movies or gory costumes, but the old-fashioned fun of carving pumpkins, seeing little ones dressed up as pirates or princesses, a dinner of mummy dogs, along with a 1940's  old-time radio show mystery starring Vincent Price, or even a funny Hallowe'en show with The Great Gildersleve. 

Here's a quick look at this year's pumpkins...the warm, rainy October days have definitely given them the perfect Hallowe'en wrinkles!






A visit to the pumpkin patch on a beautiful blue-skied day...we were welcomed by a terrific pumpkin-colored barn and a cozy spot to sit down and enjoy a little pumpkin tic-tac-toe!






Happy Hallowe'en to all...these days will go by before we know it - enjoy every day of this beautiful, autumn season.

  4. Thanks ladies - pumpkin carving is always fun for me (although I usually take the easy route, I use a drill with a large bit and make a polka-dot pumpkin!)

  5. Hoping you had a merry Hallowe'en!! The pumpkins are fantastic! I agree about the kids in costumes - so adorable. We always hold trick-or-treating for the kiddos at our farmers market and the kids and dogs in costume is the highlight of the week!
