Dear Gail,
Simply adorable..Thank you for the smiles today..off to take Xavier with momma trick or treating..Thank you for an adorable hub.
Love,
Sunnie
Hi Homesteadbound,
So glad you enjoyed this little Halloween treat. You are such a fountain of knowledge- I knew the flower looked like candy corn but had no idea what it's real name was- Indian Blanket, such a pretty name! Now I was able to look it up on Wikipedia and learn it's the state wildflower for Oklahoma and blankets the ground for miles along roadways.
Thanks for the kind words about the hub.
Hi Sunnie,
So glad you liked it. Hope you have a blast trick or treating with Xavier. It's always fun when you have a small child to use as an excuse to go trick or treating (smile).
Thanks for all your support and encouragement.
This was so much fun...wait there is someone pounding on the door, hope there is no blood and gore... oh good, not someone hairy and bony.. a little one dressed like a My Little Pony
Hi Mckbirdbks,
Loved your clever and fun comment. They're knocking on my door, too, and who knows maybe Sunnie Day will show up all the way from Texas with Xavier- she could fly him here on her Good Witch Broom! Wouldn't that be the greatest of treats?
Thanks for coming and hope you enjoy the rest of the evening.
THis Hub was such a nice Halloween Treat for all of us To read and Enjoy. Thank you Gail, and so non fattening too. Happy, Happy, Halloween to you and Yours my Friend.
Thanks so much b. Malin,
I didn't think of the extra benefit of this treat being non fattening but that's definitely a bonus. (smile)
Just finished reading your Adam and Eve Interview hub and loved it. A funny yet all too true take on human nature then and now- some things never change, do they?
This was so fitting for tonight! I don't have small children anymore, and I really miss taking them around to "trick or treat".
Me too, Mary, but it's still fun to see them come to the door all dressed up. I saw some really adorable costumes on the little ones who were out tonight.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Haha, so fun! Thanks for the treat and cute quotes. I love the candy corn flower too! :)
Hi Oceansnsunsets,
So glad you enjoyed it. I finished it a few minutes before the first trick or treaters arrived, so I laughed when I read your Halloween Hub that you'd just finished in between the arrival of your neighborhood's kids.
I loved Candy Corn Flower and Halloween Quotes.
Welcome Vinaya Ghimire,
So glad you enjoyed the hub and thanks for leaving a comment.
Your hub made me smile! I love the candy corn poem and the beautiful photograph of the flower! What a perfect ending to the Halloween season. The little fairy tale about puppy love was cute, too! Mmmm...I think I'll fall in chocolate later... Thanks for the smiles this morning!
Hi Stephanie,
So glad it made you smile. They had the annual Rehoboth Beach pet parade on the boardwalk this weekend and the pets were all dressed up so cute and on their best social behavior. What a fun day it was but my camera takes about 30 seconds between shots and I missed alot of good opportunities to take pictures during the parade.
Flowers are so much easier because they stay in one place. (smile)
Dear Gail,
I am catching up on the ghoulish "tricks" around HubLand and this was UP there and FAB, if ever a collection of Halloween favorites was compiled...
LOVE your assortment of "treats" for us. Your pictures are adorable and your haiku is awesome! Hugs, mar.
Hi Mar,
Wow! I feel like I won the trifecta this morning as you've honored me with 3 great and uplifting comments! Thanks so much for your support. You're such a sweetheart and I'm so glad we met.
Great work, this really made me smile. Thank you.
Hi Acaetnna,
So good to see your smiling face and read your bright comment. Thanks so much for taking time to leave a comment. Am glad you enjoyed the hub.
Wonderful HBN - these are such colorful words and images to brighten Halloween! Haiku Halloween from a fun, creative and caring soul! Thank you for sharing!
Up and very useful this year indeed.....
Hi Chatkath,
So glad you enjoyed it. I love Halloween because it's a fun, stress free holiday and the little kids are so adorable! I appreciated your kind comments, the vote up and your ongoing support. Hope your own Halloween was good.
What a beautiful flower and what a fun hub. Those dogs dressed like their owners are amazing. We Brits don’t do anything like that - or at least I’ve never seen it. Maybe Scottish dogs are too reticent.
I’m definitely pressing the funny button.
Oh, and I nearly forgot, that song always reminds me of my friends doing a skit a show at school, so it brought back good memories.
Hi Melovy,
Am so glad you liked my attempt at being light-hearted. I'd just seen hundreds of pets dressed up at the Sea Witch Festival and the Halloween trick or treaters were coming to my door as I wrote this so it was lots of good inspiration.
The thing that amazes me about the pet parade is how well behaved all the pets are. They actually seem like they love prancing around in their costumes!
I always loved that silly song, too. It would have been an "oldie" when you did your skit but I remember hearing it when it first came out! It was fun and had its own dance.
Thanks for pressing the funny button and for reading so many of my hubs. I greatly appreciate your support and know that with your kids still young your free time is limited.
Thanks for the Halloween "treat' - that flower really is the perfect one for this poem.
Hi Danette,
So glad you enjoyed the "treat".
Hi again Happyboomernurse,
I was curious about when Monster Mash was out first so had a look. It was apparently banned from radio in the UK in 1962 (according to Wikipedia for being too morbid) and then was rereleased here in 1973, so it would be from that time that I remember it.
That's really interesting. I didn't realize it was banned in the UK. The release I remembered from childhood was the 1962 version.
check out my ridiculous costume: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.469608551
I wore it to work, but, I work from home
it might be this link actually: http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/31198
Hi PDXKaraokeGuy,
Thank goodness you work at home.
Boomer, indeed :-)
Wow Gail;a great hub ;I was sifting through some of your earlier hubs and came across this one and I love it.
Your hubs are always amazing and never disappoint.
I have added two new folders for bookmarking ;one is' My Special Hubs' and the other 'My Special Poems'
Guess where this one is going???
Take care Gail and here's to so many more hubs for us both to share on here.
Take care
Eddy.
Oh Eddy,
You always brighten my day. Thanks so much for looking through my old hubs and finding this one about Halloween.
I'm on my way out to see a St. Patrick's Day Parade (it's celebrated early in Hilton Head). The sun is shining and it's sure to be a great time for the 20,000 people who are expected to attend.
Hope you, too, are having a lovely weekend. I so enjoyed your hub about the sea this morning.
Yet another happy and joyful hub by you! Thank you for all these wonderful, sweet and funny "treats" Gail, you bring happiness and smiles to my soul! Voted up and spreading this joy by sharing.
Welcome SanneL,
How cool that you read this Halloween Hub in April and that you still enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for the vote up and for sharing it with others. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Gail - this was really cute! The best Halloween hub I have seen so far! I loved the video. The pictures were great and so were the quotes.
That Indian Blanket flower really does look like candy corn! That was a good one!
