It's been years since I carved a pumpkin. In fact, the last jack-0-lantern I made had the face painted on. And it was taken from my front porch. I was really annoyed because I had grown it myself and it was the only pumpkin the plant produced. This year I have a small commercial scarecrow that I'll set out. I got it as a door prize so if it disappears, I'll have one less thing to store.
Anyway... I used to have 100 trick-or-treaters come to my door. In the past few years, it's been about 40. The weather has been so nasty, and it's raining all day today, so that may mean even fewer creatures at my door tonight. I have treats ready and will spend the evening at home, listening for footsteps. Sometimes I get out my witch's hat and wear it when I answer the door. I was happy to see your message come through because it meant that Majordomo computer still had power. I think most of the power outages are north of it's home.

I am so glad that I don't have to scoop out pumpkin seeds & carve scary faces any more. I'd rather be making lace than carving a pumpkin face!
