Saturday is Halloween. Despite the giant spiders and scary pumpkins I leave on the porch to scare them away, children still come looking for cookies and candy. They think their little plastic masks and bedsheets will protect them. Heh heh.
Lisa, vampires are make believe, like elves, gremlins and eskimos.
Quotation from Homer Simpson
ENVELOPE, n. The coffin of a document; the scabbard of a bill; the husk of a remittance; the bed-gown of a love-letter.
Quotation from Ambrose Bierce
Try cutting out the water, your blood may be too thin
LOL! My Mom told me on the phone yesterday that she is considering turning off her porch light and keeping her door closed. I told her that I remember being a kid out with my pals on Halloween and how lame it was to see a note scotch taped to a door that read “Out of Candy”. We always carried and soap (for screen doors) to protest this. With that in mind, my Mom has decided to buy up bags of candy and hang out at the front door while Goblins and Ghosts stop by with paper grocery bags to collect treats! lol, Sera!

Or the desire for candy surpasses their fear…
“The bed-gown of a love-letter.” I like that.
I vant to eat your cookie
I’m thinking maybe those little tiny bottles of Absolut vodka this year. They’re soooo cute.
zzzzzzzzzohmygoodness!!!! that was THE BEST comment hahahaha, you’re a little toooooo creative, it’s like you’re super human!!! and that fact only increases my craving for chocolate chip cookies
I think Matthew is flirting with you.
And Chrome is my hero.
So, I’m commenting on your comments, not the post? That won’t do. Almost anything increases my cravings for chocolate chip cookies.
Happy Halloween, Sera!
Halloween brings out the best in all of us, Seraphine.
I am just amazed by that photograph, Sera. Very scary with those black branches and dark clouds.
And consuming blood and water everyday can be little boring sometimes, it’s good treat yourself once in while. So… Happy Halloween and chocolate-ing and cookie-ing.
Hmmm… I like those definitions for an envelope.
I use my dog to scare them. Really. One minute nothing, the next second a THUMP and barking. I’ve made more than one parent have to clean the pee from their children. I make up for it by giving out good candy.
Great work on the processing on the tree! Now it is interesting that the vampire needs chocolate chip cookies – I believe I could live on chocolate chip cookies. They must be healthy for me because when I eat them I instantly feel better! Very nice work on this and have a great Halloween!
We used to live in a house with two towers right next to a big park. The tricky treaters had to climb a staircase to the round room nearest the door where my enormous old traveling trunks lived. A few candle-lit pumpkin heads and us in costume made our place the hit of the neighborhood – except for one girl with an overactive imagination. Poor thing. We only asked for a drop of blood
Cracking image, I’m with her all the way with her chocolate chip cookies MMMmmmm.
your creativity is without limit…ah yes i have to buy some candies for saturday night , if i don’t eat them before
Cool idea
) Love it ! I am in building-apartment – no candies, no kids 
Last year, there was practically no one out for Halloween (despite having been a very mild evening). The streets were eerily empty.
Returning home, the wife said that she’d had 3 (maybe 4) visitors. Next trick -or-treaters got all the remaining treats (lucky kids).
