Who loves Halloween? Raise your hand… Did you know that 25% of all candy sold in this country is consumed at Halloween? Thats a LOT of candy! But many don’t celebrate the day… In fact, many are against it all together and consider it to be an exercise in Evil 👻 What do YOU think?

Have a safe, fun Halloween 🎃 👻 🧛♀️

It’s October kids, and we are quickly approaching Halloween 🎃 What a perfect time to discuss the scariest of all fish – The Ghost Koi!

The “Ghost Koi” is a product of breeding a mirror carp with a metallic Ogon Koi. For this reason many Koi purists don’t consider them a true “Koi”…
They are a very hardy fish and much less susceptible to diseases than most. They also grow extremely fast! Both of these traits make them a great first Koi!
Ghost Koi don’t have a lot of markings like other Koi so their beauty comes from their shining metallic scales! Their colors can vary from dark to cream to silver and even golden. The head is generally creamy and the body colors will widely vary, depending greatly on the parents color.
I guess what I’m saying is, even though they have a scary name, & the fact that it is almost Halloween – Don’t be wary of the Ghost Koi! They are really pretty cool
Enjoy your Koi! AND Have a –
‘HAPPY HALLOWEEN’!

Good morning! It’s #Throwbackthursday! I was looking through old photos of Halloween’s past and found this very special photo of Jacobs first best friend… his dog Tracker. Tracker was always a good sport and went along with any crazy 😜 dress up plan that Jacob and Jo came up with. She especially Loved Halloween 🎃 Probably all the treats and snacks that she got 😊 Dogs 🐶 are truly mans best friend!

Have a Great Throwback Thursday! And Happy Halloween 🎃 👻

We just started watching Horror films for the Halloween 🎃 season. Guess where we always start… You guessed it – Mikey Myers…
“They tell me that most of us get more conservative as we get older. It makes sense, we get married, have kids, we earn more $$ and have more to conserve! We also set up routines that we follow throughout our daily lives – exercise, eating, checking email, etc.. So I got to wondering if everyone across all boundaries followed suit?”
Check this out! – A day in the life of Mike

Getting ready in the morning has become a ritual…

I don’t care who you are, ya’ gotta stay in shape!

There’s always something to do…

Don’t forget to take a break now and again! All work and no play…

You might even think the monotonous life we all leed has tamed & subdued Mike to the point that homocide is just off the menu… ?

Happy Halloween y’all! 🎃

Don’t eat too much candy tonight kids 🎃
“When the spooks have a midnight jamboree/They break it up with fiendish glee/The ghosts are bad but the one that’s cursed/Is the headless horseman; he’s the worst/That’s right, he’s a fright on Halloween night! When he goes a joggin’ ‘cross the land/Holding his noggin in his hand/Demons take one look and groan/And they hit the road to parts unknown/Beware, take care he rides alone!”
~ The Headless Horseman, The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow.
Happy Halloween!

Back by popular demand… A day in the life of MIKE!
They tell me that most of us get more conservative as we get older. It makes sense, we get married, have kids, we earn more $$ and have more to conserve!

This time of the year with school & church festivities, there is always something to contribute 🎃
It’s hard to catch a minute to just… Relax
You might even think the monotonous life we all leed has tamed & subdued Mike to the point that Murder is just off the menu… ?
Happy Halloween 🎃 👻

We are 12 days away from Halloween 🎃 We LOVE to carve pumpkins 🎃 in our house! In fact, we will carve at least 1 Jack-O-Lantern every day from now to ‘All Hallows Eve’… Think “12 days of Halloween” 👻
Here are a few of my favorites. Some are ours, some were done by others & some are just deco Jack-O-Lanterns that we display every year. To me, they just set the mood for the season 😊

Get as creative as you want! Pumpkin carving is good for the soul!😊 This was carved by a very creative young lady at our recent Fall Fest!
Have some fun this weekend and carve a Pumpkin 🎃 ‘Tis’ The Season!
