The day the little trick-or-treaters love has arrived. If the weather is nice, the streets will be filled with costumed tots collecting treats for a short time this evening. To close out the Countdown series, I offer this H“owl”oween image. Have a happy and safe Halloween everyone!

I almost hate to call the decorations here scarecrows but that is the closest that I can come to a description. They currently hold court near the Kemper Family Garden area at the Missouri Botanical […]
