Brown's Cemetery
Cemeteries are places that seem to harbor the spirits of those whose bodies have succumbed to death. While some cemeteries seem to be quiet and all those whose mortal remains have been laid there seem to be resting in peace or have moved on from this version of the mortal plane...there are those cemeteries that seem to be very much 'alive' with activity.

Experts say the holiday is one of the most dangerous times of the year for children to walk because they will be out trick-or-treating in the dark when it is harder for drivers to see them.

Jack-o’-turnips: The Origins Behind Today’s Halloween Traditions
Carved your turnips and rutabagas for Halloween yet? Believe it or not, when the celebration of Halloween originally began as a celebration of the Celtic New Year back around 700 B.C., pumpkins didn’t exist in Europe. Instead, an ember would be placed in a hollowed out turnip or rutabaga, which would be used as a lantern to protect against evil spirits, including a character called Stingy Jack, hence the term jack-o’-lantern.

As the leaves on the trees begin to change color, so does taste in home décor. The transformation from a green landscape to one filled with rich russet colors and bright Halloween hues inspires us to bring all that color inside to enjoy.
Redecorating for fall doesn’t mean you have to paint the walls or switch out the furniture. You can change the look and feel of any room by simply accessorizing with such things as slip covers and pillows, throw rugs, artwork and flowers.

A Harvest Halloween
To take advantage of the last days of autumn, we planned an outdoor Halloween party at our family farm. This gave us an opportunity to bring our friends together in an informal setting before the hectic holiday season.
The kids grew excited as we drove past the harvested fields of rural farmland, the grazing cattle, and brimming roadside stands. The sights and smells of the country awoke their spirits of adventure and they burst from the car as soon as we stopped at the end of the dirt road.

Halloween is “fright night” for humans not dogs. Screaming, running, spooky children in masks make many dogs uncomfortable, nervous and frightened. Halloween costumes are fun and are meant to disguise our normal appearance. Dogs do not understand this change in appearance and may become frightened. Costumes that change the way a person walks, stands, or their general appearance may cause a dog to react different then usual even with those they know.
