Just Two


 There were just two Trick or Treaters who arrived together last night.  The bowl remains full.  

Had I known that there would be no more, their haul would have been spectacular.

My daughter's neighborhood had about 150.  The neighbors get together at the start of their cul de sac with candy for the kids and snacks for themselves.  It's an event.

This morning is unusually quiet.  It's forty degrees.  The dog walkers must be postponing their walks until later. The construction workers the next street over have a day off.  There is little traffic noise from the interstate near by.  No one is up early to mow their yards.  So quiet.

I didn't have any. I did have candy 'just in case' but......It makes me sad that the kids don't go door-to-door in a lot of neighborhoods (mine included) that lend themselves to doing that. :(

At the postoffice yesterday a heads up. The neighborhood around the corner- not a dead end like mine- regularly needs candy givers to have enough for a couple hundred visits. So I turned off my porch light. And saw no children walking on our street. Makes me sad too Angie.
