Hall. O. Ween

It all started the evening before Halloween, with a street full of impromptu witches on bikes. Not a great picture, as I was in my car with a hastily focused iPhone, on my way to a meeting.  But the Ravalli Republic captured these witchy ladies cycling through Hamilton. It's the second-annual such parade. Women friends and I plan to join the third witch-a-thon next year. Anyone got a pointy black hat that they don't want?
Heather, our neighbor across the street, put on temporary tattoos and tutu and hosted a pre-Halloween party.
We ate and schmoozed: Heather, left; Shelley (Queen Bee); Alex (prisoner); and Katrina (Holstein) with Arlo (baby bear).
Jeff, Heather's husband, was an eerie, um, train conductor?
My favorite snack at Heather's -- spider-sugared brownies.
Our own spider! Ready to receive visitors on the front porch.
Our friend Rob handed out lots of our candy. He's a bagpiper by trade and insisted that his costume was not a dinosaur but, instead, the Loch Ness monster. See the Scottish tam attached to his wee dino-head??
One of our scarier trick-or-treaters (temp. tattoos, a la Heather? Must be a trend.)
Perhaps the cutest duo of the night!
Rob was a Halloween rock star! He not only handed out bags and bags of candy but he also played his bagpipes for the crowds. Our friend Mary sat at the picture window, sipping wine and counting children. Her notes say we got 560+ kids!
