As much as I cringe at the idea of impending colder weather, now that it’s kind of here I’m starting to have visions of cornucopias and evergreens. It’s nearly time to look forward to decorating and baking, twinkling lights and gatherings.

Halloween has come and gone and for the first time in 16 years, there were no tricks or treats in our household this year. Sadly, our daughters have officially reached the “too cool for that sort of thing” stage in their lives.

Winter. Nine feet of snow. And that’s just our average. In the record snow season of 2007-2008, 16-1/2 feet buried Caribou. And even in the lightest season on record (records at Caribou go back to 1939), two winters after the snow barrage, Caribou still had nearly six feet of snow.
As the weather turns colder by the day, and the autumn leaves start to fall from the trees, pumpkins are out on front porches, ghosts hang in trees, and it just reminds me of all the great Halloweens I have had in my life.
