hallowed eve

From Ghoulies, and Ghosties,
and Long-Leggety Beasties
and things that go bump in the night.
Lord, help us.

We gathered at a neighbor's driveway, put our candy bowls on a table, and sat and chatted while the children drifted by and got their pickings. A fire burned in the portable fireplace. A tractor and wagon pulled up with small kids. And then it rained, and everybody ran inside.

Late at church was a Halloween organ concert, complete with Tocata in D, silliness, and lots of Krispy Kreme donuts and candy for the gathering of children, parents and the rest of us.
