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!

Tomorrow is the big day for the little costumed ghosts and goblins. Looks like the weather in St. Louis may be a bit questionable but hopefully it will be dry for them.

Only two more days until Howloween. After we’re visited by the little costumed trick-or-treaters we move on to the month of November. Eleven days later we honor those who have served on Veteran’s Day 2013 and then just over two weeks later we celebrate Thanksgiving. 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 […]

Hand-carved, painted, sculpted, even formed from metal, these decorated pumpkins have become a sign of the season.

Until we came to this small pond where we sat and share some wine, some cheese, and some conversation.
