November 1st has long been on of my favorite days of the year. It represents back to normalcy and anticipation for two of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. But before we return to normal I have to share this Halloween house. Unfortunately I didn't hear about it until October 31 - and you might say, soon enough, but not in Nauvoo. Instead of trick-or-treating on Halloween, some of the mid-west towns do their begging the night before. They call it appropriately Beggar's night. In Des Moines the children have to tell a joke or sing a song, do some trick before they get candy. So on October 31 we drove up to see the house. It wasn't lit up, but we went the next day and took this picture. Next year we will know. Decorated from rooftop to front yard.
This week we settled down to hard work, bulb planting, digging up iris, and generally cleaning up the fall gardens.
