We headed off to Yardley, PA yesterday afternoon to hit up a favorite restaurant as we waited for the sun to set. Last year, we heard about a jack-o'-lantern blaze along the canal that runs through their small quaint town of shops and homes. Thankfully, Canal-O-Ween occurs the full week of Halloween (it ends on Saturday).
Within walking distance from the restaurant, we headed up a quiet road towards the canal. The weather felt like Halloween had gone nowhere at all. We spotted the unending row of pumpkins along the dark canal and joined a slow walk with other observers. Studying every variety of carved face, the crowd was very quiet, like we were in some kind of strange outdoor museum. The air was cold and damp, so we bought some hot cider from a small stand along the row of shining pumpkins. It truly felt like Second Halloween.
So many great faces and carvings, in the most perfect (and dark) setting.
