Halfway Point Thru October

Post by Snoopy/Red Baron » Fri Oct 16, 2009 1:02 pm

We are halfway thru October already. Man it flew by! What have you done so far to enjoy the month to its fullest? How are you going to take advantage of the rest of the month?

I had one adult party & have one more kids to go, we have been to several Pumkin Patch's & took a ride down HWY 94 to look at all the fall colors WOW! they were beautiful. It's been a full month & I am still enjoying it !!! I love this time of the year. What have you all been doing this month?
Thanks, Witchy

Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame

Nice to see your name again, S/RB.

Tomorrow is pumpkin patch day!! The weather is supposed to be perfect so it will be crowded.

I'll post pix.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Hey Andybev, good to hear from you too. The weather just turned beautiful here so its really feeling like Autumn. I've been watching alot of scary movies with my girlfriend this whole month. We light up the pumpkins, open the windows, make a bowl of popcorn, burn a pumpkin spice candle and pop in a horror film. In between the movie, the shadows flickering on the wall, a cool breeze coming in, and the smell of pumpkin in the air, it makes for quite a nice atmosphere. We went to Oktoberfest at the Texas Renaissance Festival last weekend and drank pumpkin beer and spoke in middle-English accents. Brilliant! We have a ton of Halloween parties and Halloween festivals/events throughout Houston to go to, and at some point, I am determined to find myself sitting in the most sincere pumpkin patch with nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see. . . If only it didn't go by so fast...

Hey Adrian, glad you joined our community. Yeah, I've watched all these new faces pop up over the last few years and it warms my heart to see this forum grow. And everyone has such great spirit. It would be so cool if we could all have a big Halloween party together someday, perhaps in Salem! Or New Orleans.

Hi Snoopy/RedBaron,
Nice to meet you. :)

A get together sounds great! I'd love that!

And it really does feel like fall here. Gloomy and windy and leaves flying off the tree in front.
I've been out doing charcoal rubbings and out to the orchard for pumpkins and gourds and cider.
No parties yet, I've been down a bit with a cold. But planning some.

Oh, I'm really behindhand this year. Our weather has not been good--lots of rain--which has hindered my outdoor decorating. And my kids have been getting sick with first one thing and then another. I've got some catching up to do! I want to do a corn maze, maybe a haunted tour, etc. I have been watching a fair number of spooky videos.

Hey Belladonna, its good to meet you too. Adrian, I think we should definitely try to set up a meetup for the people of this forum next year. Maybe a weekend of planned activities like a New Orleans swamp ghost tour, haunted houses, Vampire ball, etc.

Witchy- yes :) look for my Bring In the Night forum :)

and SRB- that would be a lot of fun :) new Orleans isn't too awful far from me.. they have fantastic food there :) i like spicy stuff so that's right up my ally

Belladonna and I have been thinking about messaging the mods and admin and seeing what they think..
i believe that if enough of us are interested we could make it happen

It's a great idea and I think we'd all have a great time.
New Orleans would be perfect for the food and music and atmosphere...but Salem, Mass would be good too. Heck anywhere we meet, I know it would be a blast.

Being half-way through October is good and bad, really. On the positive side, it's closer to Halloween but on the negative side it's also closer to the end of this great season. :(
