Hallowe’en on Sixth Street

….yesterday started out grey and wet but by late afternoon the rain ceased and the children arrived in their glorious costumes

We never get many children at our door but yesterday, despite a wet start to the day, we saw a relatively large number for the bottom of Sixth St.. I say bottom because so many families don’t venture those few extra steps into our block mainly because so few doors are open.

Before it got too dark I walked up the street to see how the neighbours decorated their doorways. Here’s a small sampling of what I saw. By the way we had 38 trick or treaters come to our door.IMG-9459

Sunday Trees – 363 Autumn Colours

….thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees

I was beginning to wonder if we were ever going to see the colours change this season. I got my wish driving up to the cottage this past week.

October Photo a Day – Pumpkins

….thanks to City Sonnets for hosting the October Photo a Day Challenge

This challenge couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. On Thursday my husband and I drove to the cottage and passed a couple of farmer’s stands that were loaded with pumpkins and yesterday my granddaughter and I decorated one that I bought for her.P1070214

Down a Random Road

….thanks to Traveling at Wits End  for hosting the Weekly Photo Challenge

On Thursday we drove to the cottage to close her up for the season. We took our usual route but along the way we came to a detour and ended going down some random country road we’ve never travelled before. It was interesting to see some different countryside. All these shots were taken from a moving car.
