Five years ago we experienced our first Halloween in Colorado after 11 years in Florida. It had snowed a couple days before so there was 3-4 inches of snow on the ground. We didn’t last too long and ended up back at my sister-in-laws house for hot soup and salad.
When we were in Orlando, we always had to plan the kids costumes in light of the heat. We didn’t want them getting to hot when running house to house. My youngest daughter was the Pillsbury Doughboy one year and the white make-up practically melted. She looked like the Doughboy on meth. We’ve already had a bit of snow this season but this Halloween should have decent weather.
Another sign we’re no longer in Florida happened yesterday. We had a pumpkin carving open house and the grandson of some friends lives about a half hour up the mountains in Evergreen. He said they can’t put their pumpkin out because of wildlife. A couple years ago they came outside one morning and an elk had eaten almost their whole jack o’lantern except for the candle.
