Happy Halloween

I know what you're thinking.....
"Couldn't she buy a nice Halloween decoration, something more up to date?"
Well there is a story behind this old, laughing pumpkin wreath. When James and I were married 33 years ago, we were given a holiday shower and, you guessed it, we received this pumpkin. Ever since, he makes his annual appearance some time during the week of Halloween. His "Ha...Ha...Ha...Ha" means it's time to make Frito pies, fill a big bowl with candy, turn the porch lights on, and wait for trick-or-treaters.
Hope your day is filled with fun traditions,

'Tis the night — the night
Of the grave's delight,
And the warlocks are at their play;
Ye think that without
The wild winds shout,
But no, it is they — it is they.
~Arthur Cleveland Coxe
From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!
~Scottish Saying
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams,
So I'll propose on Halloween.
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.
