That was immensely satisfying Gloria! Like an ending to a Ray Bradbury “Dandelion Wine” summer.

Between coffee and cream the ghost sheets mix and mingle in my cup as I drink the witches brew that lights cats eyes marbles tossed into hollows that winners will come and go as the summer sets to make pumpkins gestural grimaces of lit by candlelight on porches ; then tossed into street to be squashed for not giving a treat. Tricks of the goblins, fate of the hob knobs popped corn leaps. Poetry is the treat next to chocolate chip cookies and snickers.

Love your poetic Halloween prose Gloria! Happy Halloween!!

You’ve sparked memories of barreling through 3 feet of snow covered splendor, with my 3 kids trying to walk in my boot plowed wake, truly unforgettable!

DIA de los Muertos is where my mind usually takes me when All Hallows Eve turns our calendar…thanks for bringing back such wonderful memories!

300 costumed kids must be your treat, enjoy!!
