It was a successful trick-or-treat night! I probably had about 40 kids. Many of them remembered me as the potato house from last year, but I did not set out a bowl of potatoes this year. Lesson learned! I will set a bowl of potatoes out again next year. One kid said that I saved his dad last year. I know I gave away a lot of groceries to people who needed them.
I decided to sit around in a camp chair in my Bear onesie and read a book. It was just the right warmth for a drizzly, cool evening.
The dogs were dressed as spiders and they were delightfully well-behaved. People loved seeing their costumes and petting them. Nobody was scared by them.
There is a hook underneath that mailbox out by the road so I just hung the plastic cauldron with all the rest of the candy in it out there when I packed everything up. There's a street lamp right across the street from me, so it's easily visible to anybody who passes by tonight.
I've already changed my clocks that don't change by themselves, and tomorrow, sunrise (which is chicken care time) is around 6:30 AM. It'll feel like 7:30 though, so that's no problem.
