I like the brown and orange - - reminds me of a Hermes box. This year I forgot to take the carved lantern in. Attacked by racoons by next morning. Pumpkin everywhere. I hope those kids appreicated the full size candy...Your blog is looking great by the way.tintinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-22159790893562796292008-10-26T15:46:00.000-05:002008-10-26T15:46:00.000-05:00It's a feast celebrated more in the abayance t...It's a feast celebrated more in the abayance than reality in the Catholic Churches of my youth.Toadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17320342028348619490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-79234051532236139752008-10-26T12:07:00.000-05:002008-10-26T12:07:00.000-05:00That's why we sang A Mighty Fortress in church...That's why we sang A Mighty Fortress in church this morning. It's Reformation Sunday (even though Methodists are not really part of the Reformation because they came via the Anglicans).<br><br>I grew up a Lutheran, though, so I love that song. DOTR always says it reminds him of "Davy and Goliath", that early claymation series hosted by the Lutheran church. We catch it once in awhile on an obscure cable channel.<br><br>And while I'm on a roll, I always love all the churches that won't celebrate Halloween but instead opt for "Harvest Festivals". Totally Pagan celebration, there, but they're clueless.<br><br>I like the fall, too. It's my birthday, there's no hype for gift giving, and in Nebraska the weather was nice (usually, at least better than spring).<br><br>Happy Harvest!Mom on the Runhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03575824415627306078noreply@blogger.com
