All Hallows Eve

I was greeted with a coating of wet snow this morning. Hopefully it won’t freeze into an impenetrable mess. I’m already growing weary of having to wear stabilicers when I take a morning walk.
Today’s photo theme is #CemeterySaturday. There are many interesting older graveyards in New Hampshire and I’m always on the lookout for interesting gravestones and epitaphs.
Are we promoting Black Friday already? Sorry we are.
It was a great Halloween this year, I had a nice stint at the Green Center in the morning, followed by an interesting visit to Vale End Cemetery. Later we had a few trick and treats.

Good morning,
I always enjoy stopping at Windy Hill Orchard to click a few photos. It is a beautiful farm. At first I heard that it was closing but that was in error. Here is an update.
Great family place to pick apples and pumpkins, with a view of the Autumn colors
A mellow cow gives me the look
A farm should have some farm animals
It was great year for apples, but no corn maze this year

One more item about something that really was scary, POLIO
Today marks the 100th birthday of Jonas Salk the researcher that brought the vaccine to the world.
When I was a kid this was the scariest thing that existed, since we knew kids (including one of my cousins) who would get it. We would see images of Iron Lungs and paralyzed kids on TV.
I was a “Polio Pioneer“, one of the children in 1954-55 to participate in the first injections of the vaccine. I wish I had kept the card and pin they gave me.There are people who won’t vaccinate their children, I’m glad my parents weren’t of that mindset.
There are some horror stories about the vaccine though such as the Cutter Incident which show the importance of oversight of industries.
Now back to our regular programming for Halloween
