Not long
ago I wrote about St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah. I wasn’t in the city for the
actual day, but it was very close. Close enough that they’d dyed the water in
the fountain at Forsyth Park. Close enough they hung all green Christmas lights
on trees. And close enough to change the color of lights shining high on
buildings from white to green. Savannah has the second biggest St. Patrick’s
Day parade in the nation. But Savannah is known for something other than that.
They are known for being one of the most haunted cities in America.
Ironic it
is that I am here during the week that houses Halloween. J I didn’t
plan it that way, but as soon as we knew we would be here on Halloween, we booked
a Haunted Ghost Tour. Unfortunately for you guys it is on the 31st, Halloween
Day. I’m writing this the day before so I can’t share my stories with you. Ah,
maybe next year. It is kind of exciting though being here at this time of year.
Walking
through the city you not get only get cobblestone streets and
great architecture you get a mix of fall and Halloween. Some people have their
doorsteps decorated.
Some
businesses have heads from horror movies hanging in the windows, or this nice
spider I had the pleasure of eating dinner with the other night.
Another
pleasure I seek while here is taking a peek behind the wrought iron to check
out the gardens. I was thoroughly amazed at the good humored nature of this
garden. It brings a smile to my face every time I look at this picture.
Now I’ve
given you a taste of Halloween from the city I love. No, I won’t be dressing
up, but I will be learning about the orbs and spirits that visit here. I’ll be
doing this learning in a vehicle that looks like this…
Happy Halloween everyone!
How do you plan on spending your Halloween?
Do you believe in ghosts? Where’s the most haunted place you’ve visited? Are
you tired of my Savannah stories?
W.P.I.-
To
grow pumpkins so they are ready at Halloween plant them at the right time. If
you live in a colder northern climate plant seeds in mid to late May. If you
live in warmer southern climates plant seeds in June. Make sure they
get plenty of water and sun. They need a lot of space. Squash bugs will
demolish pumpkin vines so be sure to plant companion plants with your pumpkins.
Catnip, mint, marigolds and petunias will keep the bugs away. And finally,
leave a longer stem when cutting from the vine. This will help to slow the
rotting process.
