Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap
Guten Morgan this fine Monday. I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week. (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days. I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight. I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.) Friday was exhausting y'all. I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10. Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias. Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over. So Friday morning I got to work picking of...
Yes I really do want to know. I remember when I was excited to finally have a house and eagerly waited for trick or treaters only to end up getting like 3. And as you said we haven't gotten any at all in 20 years.
ReplyDeleteI was just a kid in the 70's, but in my opinion that was the best time for trick or treating, I think parents are to scared in this day and age, just trying to keep their kids safe, but it is nice to see that some people still go all out decorating. My husband and I have lived in our new area for 2 years now, no kids coming to our door or any of the neighbors, all this candy, bad for our diet!
DeleteI haven't had trick or treaters since 2005. It is now trunk or treats at churches or schools. I know parents today don't let their kids do much. I guess they don't trust people. Understandable since there aren't the consequences for bad behaviour there once was.
ReplyDeleteNo trick or treaters here, I noticed when my kids were young, 2004 time frame, people started turning lights off and not decorating back then, people were saying in was a "sin" and were not going to participate anymore. so glad we moved from that area in the south!
