Ever wondered WHY all the kiddos get dressed up in costumes and roam around at night asking for treats? The tradition dates back to the ancient Celts, who lived in what is now Ireland and England. The Celts' New Year fell on November 1st, as that was the end of their harvest season. And on October 31st, the last night of the year, they felt the lines blurred between the living and the dead.

It's Pumpkin Patch Time!
October 06, 2008
One of my very favorite things about the Halloween season is visiting a pumpkin patch. And, until I was visiting home last week, I didn't realize just how lucky we are here in Colorado - where we have TONS of pumpkin patches to choose from.
