Halloween

20 degrees
Clearing skies

A quiet evening around the house. I had a supply of candy laid in, but as usual, no little goblins or ghosties or pirates ventured up our drive to knock on our door.

But I had an enjoyable--if lonely--evening. "Criminal Intent" was very good this evening--and for once I remembered to watch it at its new time. Afterward, I took the video camera around the house to capture the lighted decorations and the moon high in the sky.

Dinner was a large dish of macaroni and cheese and a salad while I worked a jigsaw puzzle in front of the television, with the help of the cats.


Witches and Goblins and Jack-o-lanterns bright
Creep through the town on a cold October night.
You hear the sound of running feet when nothing can be seen
And the strangest things can happen on a wild Halloween.

Out in the street, merry children run about.
Masks on their faces, they go with noisy shout.
They rap at every window pane where people may be seen,
And the strangest things can happen on a wild Halloween!
