Fall Is In The Air!

The vibrant colors, the holidays and the remembrances are all magical to me.

Halloween is coming. The weather becomes dream-like. The fashion world seems to flourish.

Football fever is everywhere.

Munch on delicious s’mores.  Breathe in the autumn smells that permeate the air.

Notice the magnificent rows of trees that change differently thus creating a spectacular rainbow effect.

It is an awesome time to embrace long walks even when it rains. Time to curl up to a cozy fire.

When skies transform from slate grey to a brilliant blue and the clouds hang low, it is a great time

to read your favorite novel while zipping on some hot cocoa.

The sky is constantly shifting to a gloomy overcast or exploding into the last rays of summer sunshine.

Share with me some of your reasons for Falling In Love With Fall.

Trick Or Treat!

Halloween is a time to celebrate the 3rd largest party day after New Year’s and Super Bowl Sunday!  The tradition of adding pranks into the Halloween night of Trick or Treat turned ugly in the early 1930’s and a movement began to substitute practical jokes for kids going door to door to collect candy.  I give out age appropriate gifts like stickers, colored erasers, small stuffed animals and other unique surprises.

 Halloween is also known as All Hallows Eve, Samhain, The Feast of the Dead and the Day of the Dead!  Trick or Treating evolved from the ancient Celtic tradition of putting out treats and food to help placate the spirits who roamed the streets at  Samhain, a sacred festival that marked the end of the Celtic calendar year.  Halloween is correctly spelt as Hallowe’en.

Did you know that if you see a spider on this spooky night, it could be the spirit of a dead loved one who is watching over you?  Black cats get a really bad rap on Halloween because they were once believed to be protected by their master’s dark  powers!  Halloween was brought to North America by immigrants from Europe who would celebrate the harvest around a bonfire, share ghost stories, sing, dance and tell fortunes.  Orange and black are Halloween colors because orange is associated with the Fall Harvest and black is associated with the darkness of death.

Kids, Remember to wear reflective tape on your costumes!  Carry a bright  flashlight!
