The cobwebs are gone. The candles have been extinguished. Pumpkins are disappearing from neighbours' front porches. Leftover chocolate bars have almost all been eaten (except for the Coffee Crisps - I know Halloween is truly over when all I have left are Coffee Crisps!). My daily postings are over too, as I am compelled to turn my attention to everything I typically neglect during the long Halloween season (did anyone remember to feed the cat?). But of course . . . Halloween is never really far away. It's there all year. Lurking just behind the Christmas tree, the Valentine hearts and the Easter eggs. I'll often see something that catches my attention . . . or reminds me of a Halloween night long past . . . or gives me a new prop idea. But for now I'm off to spend the next few weeks reflecting on Halloween past, browsing through photos from all the wonderful haunts out there, planning for next year, and maybe, maybe even get an early start on some props. It would be a nice change not to run out of time trying to get everything done in the fall.

Yea, the "dark" season has begun. Two months of being encouraged to go into receivership is about to begin.
From the sound of your posts, it seems you had a pretty good time this season.
Enjoy catching up on blogs (I've just started looking at all the pictures I missed this past week from fellow haunters).
After spending close to a record breaking 10 hours yesterday to take everything down in the house (usually I can do it in 5, but there were so many small details this year), I'm spending my Sunday eating chocolate and relaxing.
*lifts her chocolate in a toasting gesture* To planning next year. Cheers.
