Hey, friends....Happy Halloween!
Here are some photos from my day....
The leaves are finally changing here in the Ozarks, now that the nights are dropping into the 30s...
Here in Harrison, it's a custom for the downtown merchants to have candy and invite the children to trick-or-treat in the late afternoon to the stores on the Square. Here are some of my favorites:

These are the Ladybug Cousins...
The Penguin Triplets.....
And my VERY FAVORITE OF THE DAY.....

My triplets!!! Oh thank you so much for posting that!!! (look for a treasure in your mailbox soon...
)
Celia, I hope you and any of your readers don't take this the wrong way...this is simply a matter of curiosity on my part. And I ask this because whenever I see pictures you post of a parade or other gathering, or like today with the trick-or-treaters....do any African-Americans live in Harrison?
Again, this is just my curiosity!
Fun pictures! I love them. Halloween is best when it's what you showed: young kids in sweet dress-up. I hate the ghoulishness that comes with the holiday, and I wince whenever I see teenagers going around trying to beg candy. Last night, a kid in our neighborhood in 8th grade just put on a football jersey and went around wordlessly expecting candy. Our Grace was a fairy princess -- with wings and everything. Most people thought she was an angel, but she said she didn't mind. Angels were cool, too.
That's what the holiday should be about.
