The Neighbourhood is Ready for Hallowe’en

Posted on October 30, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….looks like we’ll have more doors open this year for Hallowe’en

Last year Hallowe’en was a bit of a bust because of COVID. Some people left candy outside on the honour system and many families had small costume parties with people who were in their bubble only. This year it looks like the rain will stop just in time for Trick or Treating and many people have decorated their houses with spooky decorations. I’m looking forward to opening the door again to all those lovely little kids (and some big ones too) all decked out as ghosts, witches, princesses and their favourite super heroes.

As an added precaution I’m prepackaging their treats in individual bags so there will be less handling of the food. Tonight I will clean out the pumpkin and let my husband do his magic on our Jack o lantern in the morning. Are you ready for Hallowe’en this year or are you going to give it a miss for another year?

Past Squares of Flowers

When I found out that Flowers was the first theme way back in October 2017 I went back into the archives. I couldn’t find any square photos but I did find some beautiful photos that should have been squares. Here they are:

Tuesday Textures on Wednesday

Posted on October 27, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….yesterday’s rain washed out all plans to get out and photograph textures

Today the sun came out and even though the ground was still pretty soggy and muddy in places I was very motivated to go for a walk with my telephoto lens and my iPhone.
