It's me on the other side of everything
Happy Halloween! Our gas company dug a pit at the top of our street this morning, which I'm pretty sure is how you get Nigel Kneale.
The candle in the cat pumpkin blew out twice before five o'clock, so it has been illuminated ever since with a small flashlight. The white and orange pumpkins on the other side of the porch apotropaically mimic the traffic cones with which our street is still afflicted. We had one round of small children before the sun set and are now seeing children of more varied ages, including not actually children, who are of course offered candy, although I am perhaps still most impressed by the small one who had to be coaxed not to spring off the top of our porch into his adults' arms because he was a jumping spider.
Hestia knows what holiday it is.

It didn't occur to me! That would have been a very clever costume to make with part of a spider-suit. Kid had fewer eyes but was still adorable.

Oh no, kiddo! *covers eyes* Glad he was successfully coaxed.

He had very sensible adults.

She kneaded my leg so hard this evening that I spontaneously exclaimed, "Sweetie Biscuit!" marking I think a new era in cat nicknames in this household.

Excellent!
I got a trio of sort of sorceress-princesses at one point, which I thought were pretty sweet.

If you mean Asteroid City, I want to and have not.
(The only film I know of the name Atomic City is a 1952 noir and ditto.)

I actually got trick-or-treaters this year, which was nice (usually it's either none or like four max).

Most Halloween cat.

Excellent! (Just not a lot of trick-or-treaters in the neighborhood?)

Happy Hallowe'en, Hestia! The black cats at mine enjoyed it, I think. (Certainly more than they're enjoying the early Guy Fawkes Night fireworks, poor things.)

It was incredibly sweet.

Oh, brave cats. My condolences on the fireworks. We have something of the same problem around the Fourth of July.
