October is over already! I have a bunch of pictures for Halloween so here we go, using the Random-osity format.
The Good: When I spotted this farm near Kernstown and pulled over to take a picture, I was pleased to see they were open to the public. I thought perhaps it was a pumpkin patch, but it turned out that they sell organic items.

There was even a giant apple painted with farm pictures! The nearby city of Winchester has a parade of apples — giant ones painted with different symbols.
The Random: Here's a really old snapshot I found today from when my daughters were kids.
The Fun: Halloween is a fun holiday for most folks and one thing that has surprised me in recent years is how intensely people are decorating for it. The town of Woodstock (VA) has a pumpkin head competition and some local businesses and even public services have gone all out!
I made up a collage to show many of these in a small space. Click on it to see a larger version.

Here's one more collage of some miscellaneous pictures. By the way, we didn't have any trick-or-treaters again this year. There are kids in the neighborhood but their parents take them to organized events.
Oh yes, Halloween is a silly, fun time! Lovely barns Linda. Thanks for being here, please stop back again.
ReplyDeleteNice photos Linda. Halloween has changed since I was a kid. More community events happening now than in the old days. It's good for kids and safer.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!
I didn't carve my pumpkin, I guess it is a Thanksgiving decoration now
ReplyDeleteI really like the giant apple painting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute farm! Love all the paintings. Cute pic of your kids with their pumpkins - such happy memories.
ReplyDeleteThat's really going all out on Hallowe'en decor!
ReplyDeleteI like the murals--especially the scenes painted on the giant apple. We had no trick-or-treaters here either. It seems like the trend here is to attend community events too.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see the picture of your kids ...
ReplyDeleteI love the mosaic too.
Good wishes for the month of November
All the best Jan
We are such a rural area that most kids go to organized events as well.
ReplyDeleteI love it when people decide to decorate their own walls. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
