Wednesday's Whopper

(On a Tuesday.)

We tried the new Halloween Whopper from Burger King.  Essentially the same as a standard Whopper but with a gloriously purple bun with black sesame seeds, and a slice of Swiss cheese, rather than the standard American.  The power of suggestion made it taste really superb.  Eating it in a cemetery near the Burger King sealed the deal.  

Bravo, Burger King.  Long may you reign.

Black Cat Bakery Cupcakes

I posted about the Black Cat Bakery HERE and mentioned how we planned to return in October.  Over the weekend, we took another trip to the region.  Came home with these beauties.  Each one is amazing in its own way.  Whomever creates these wonderful cupcakes is an evil genius.  You can figure out which is which by the beautiful designs...

And The Award For Best Halloween Decoration Goes To...

We spotted this gorgeous decoration last night on a drive through the local neighborhoods.  We were hunting for home haunts and cool decor, turning up dark, unfamiliar streets when we spotted any kind of orange or green or purple glow.  

As we were working our way home, we came down a street that didn't have very much going on by way of Halloween.  Then, on our right, was this simple and elegant movement, bathed in flickering orange light.  Not sure if this is sold in stores, but I found some tutorials online calling it Hovering, Dancing Ghosts.  

It was perfection.  We stood watching these dancing spirits for so long... they floated above their faux fire, swaying and shifting in the wind.  It was bliss.

The photos don't do it justice, so click HERE to see them in action.

It Wouldn’t Be Halloween Without Pipkin

It was a small town by a small river and a small lake in a small northern part of a Midwest state. There wasn’t so much wilderness around you couldn’t see the town. But on the other hand there wasn’t so much town you couldn’t see and feel and touch and smell the wilderness. The town was full of trees. And dry grass and dead flowers now that autumn was here. And full of fences to walk on and sidewalks to skate on and a large ravine to tumble in and yell across. And the town was full of… 

Boys. 

And it was the afternoon of Halloween. 

And all the houses shut against a cool wind. 

And the town full of cold sunlight. 

But suddenly, the day was gone. 

Night came out from under each tree and spread.

Lambertville Halloween House

On Tuesday night, we took a drive to our favorite Halloween town - Lambertville, New Jersey.  So many houses had their full displays assembled and illuminated.  But it was still just a fraction of what's coming.  We'll be heading back to get tons of photos and videos closer to the big night.  

Here are some photos we took of the legendary Halloween House.  And click here for a video.
