TheBookHippie I‘m baking bread and bringing garden food to the group here. They have decided to bring it all to the migrant camp to bless them. I‘m currently looking up what bread is traditional for this. 2w

AnnCrystal Tailtiu & Lugh 🥳🍲🍞🌱🧹💝. Hope you're having a grand Lughnasadh. (edited) 2w

inthegreensandblues Happy Lughnasadh Chrissy! August is summer appreciation month for me (bc I used to be sick of summer by this time and hated it 😂). Enjoyed a bonfire this weekend and planning to spend as much time in the water as I can for as long as it's warm. 🧜‍♀️ 2w

Gissy Hi! Is your Litsy tbr updated? 1w

Chrissyreadit @Gissy I think so- i‘m checking now! How are you? 1w

Gissy I‘m okay. Busy but trying to read during the nights like now😃I have a couple of appointments so it‘s like a time to read while I wait🤣And you? How is everything? 1w

Chrissyreadit @Gissy Busy also- i feel like time is always moving so fast. But i have had a really good time with reading! 1w

Gissy @Chrissyreadit Good!!! We need to take advantage when we have time to read! Did you check your litsy tbr? I know sometimes is difficult. I‘m always checking mine because sometimes appears a book I owned 🤦🏽‍♀️But I‘m trying to update the list every time I buy or receive a book or if I order one. I also need to update my reading reviews in Litsy😳 6d

Chrissyreadit @Gissy - it should be up to date -❤️ 6d

Gissy @Chrissyreadit Perfect👌 6d

This book has a lot of practical hands on ideas inside, which lead me to making a few things, including rich Esbat biscuits everyone here loved. I‘ll return to some recipes when the weather calms it self down to acceptable temperatures.

ShelleyBooksie Love the display!! 9mo

mcctrish @AmyG @LiteraryinPA there is a neighbourhood walk for houses registered to win a prize for decorations that is one street over where my in laws live, they had 160+ kids and turned off their lights at 7:15 and we are a ghost town 🤣🤣 (edited) 9mo

julieclair Love your decor! 9mo

mcctrish Thank you @WildAlaskaBibliophile 9mo

dabbe Love your house and decor! 🖤🎃🖤 9mo

mcctrish Thank you @ShelleyBooksie @julieclair the third skeleton is inside reading with me 9mo

mcctrish @dabbe thank you so much 🖤🧡 9mo

KadaGul @mcctrish You are just like Mom. In early 2000s, My sister and I were older, so we would start Trick-o-Treat later; my brother was younger, so he would start early. Then he would be with Mom handing out candy. My mom would be so disappointed if many Costco bags of chocolate and candy weren't gone by Sundown. She would say, we went through all the candy when you girls were growing, you age group weren't picky. (edited) 9mo

mcctrish @KadaGul it‘s not that they aren‘t coming early, it‘s that they aren‘t coming at all 9mo

KadaGul @mcctrish In the 2010s, closer to our subdivision, we started to have competition, and they went all out. So compared to them, our house wasn't looking 👀 as scary 👻. However, we covered the front windows 🪟, door 🚪 , garage door 🚪, front porch, and yard in spooky 👻 decorations, but we couldn't compete with the Mini Haunted houses in and around our subdivision. 9mo

KadaGul @mcctrish I know the trends have gone down. Now, trick-or-treats are starting early in the park district and small-town downtowns. I took my nephews 2 weeks ago for Algonquin‘s Trick-o-Treat; they closed off part of the main street and had many businesses handing out candy. We did that because we had a party for my youngest nephew this past weekend. 9mo

AmyG In NJ my street was nuts! One house made caramel apples, one had a haunted house in their garage, next door did cotton candy. Kids would bypass my house to go to those because we just gave out candy. 🤣 @Kadagul @mcctrish (edited) 9mo

mcctrish @AmyG our neighbours across the street had 30 more kids than us, they can‘t figure it out cuz we have music and skeletons and are well lit, her side is just pumpkins in the dark 9mo

AmyG @mcctrish It makes no sense. Kids!!! 9mo

mcctrish @KadaGul I know the daylight savings time push out until this weekend means it‘s light at 6 so kids wait until later to go out ( it should be dark for trick or treating, I get that ) it‘s just crazy that a street over it‘s hundreds of people and across the street from us it‘s more too ( I‘m giving out full size chocolate bars too ) 9mo

DogMomIrene We had 34 kids, which seems comparable to last year, which was our first Halloween in our new home. We‘re on a cul-de-sac, but we were handing out candy that one of the moms said kids love, so maybe next year we get more kids. 9mo

mcctrish @DogMomIrene we did get some more kids later ( after they went to the houses on the tour? ) and our numbers were up from last year so maybe my full size chocolate bars are catching on 9mo

DogMomIrene @mcctrish Yep! That same mom mentioned that another house was handing out granola bars. My husband told the kids to grab 3-4 treats from each of our two bins. Mom was like, “You‘re singing their song”😂😂😂 So I bet full size candy bar news got spread in your neighborhood! 9mo
