Oct 31 2020 - On Holiday Time

 

This year's Halloween feels like gridlock: it is Halloween on a Saturday with the time change from daylight savings time tonight - and if you look up - it is a full moon.  Isn't it even supposed to be a blue moon?

How often does the time change with Halloween? It looks like the last one was And a full moon!  A full noon on Halloween is around every 19 years. 

And the time change on the same day? It looks like the last one was 2015, and then before that 2009.  In 1982 Toronto, Saskatoon and Halifax made kids go trick-or-treating on the Saturday October 30th so they wouldn't be in the dark.  There's a movement to make Halloween on the last Saturday of October to extend the party time, etc.  

Perhaps with the Pandemic, we aren't used to so much happening at once.  And with the Pandemic, there's so little happening that this seems like a lot.

 
  • Who helps the little pumpkins cross the road safely? The crossing gourd.
  • What type of plants do well on all Hallow’s Eve? Bam-BOO
  • What do you call a witch’s garage? A broom closet.
  • What kind of food would you find on a haunted beach? A sand-witch!
  • What was the witch’s favorite subject in school? Spelling.

    Here we are with the ever-lasting supply of Chrysanthemums from the Hamilton Gage Park Show. Its theme was First Responders - so there was a bus, and an ambulance as backdrops.
