Halloween updates and plans

The pumpkin patch is losing the battle to powdery mildew. My 10+ pound pumpkins are almost completely orange. Picking will probably be in 2 weeks. Earliest pumpkin harvest ever. Guess the super high temps were good for pumpkins.

We collected branches tonight from a major park cleaning project across the street. Mr. Old Fashion Halloween is going to build a scarecrow for me. We celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary this month. Still spooky after all of these years.

Plans have been made to go to Disneyland for Mickey's Halloween Party mid October. Still trying to come up with costumes that can be worn all over the park and on rides for 8 hours. Warm weather friendly is another requirement.
