Well folks...

That's it.  Halloween is over.  The month of October is over.

I carved (or helped carve) four pumpkins last night. The weather was perfect for pumpkin carving.  We set them out to protect the house and they did their job.

I took my kids out trick or treating and saw some great things - and took photos of them.  This year I decided to provide treats in the form of my Pumpkinland CD to owners of houses when I particularly enjoyed their decorations.  This was a lot of fun and I got a great response from people.  I'm hoping to hear my music in this neighborhood for years to come.  In the future I plan to keep a stack of CDs on me to give to the owners of decorated homes that I dig.

Here are just some of the sights I saw last night.

Clearly I was fixated on pumpkins (as I usually am).

Today I avoided the call to shop for more Halloween stuff with a minor exception so I felt good about that.

Tonight I started the pumpkin seed roasting process and taking down some decorations.  It will take a little bit of time to get things put away.

I'm undertaking a huge project of organizing everything I have and purging some of the things that just don't fit into the overall picture of Pumpkinland. I'll likely post something about the items I plan to move along to see if perhaps someone locally wants to add it to their Halloween collection.

I hope you and yours had a fantastic Halloween and I look forward to next year and the fun that my favorite holiday brings!

Happy Haunting,

Mark Harvey
