The Youth is looking at the glory of the day, but is about to take a header over the cliff--- BUUUUUUUUT<br />Another reading of it is to take the Leap of Faith and you'll be borne up on the wings of angels. The White Dog who frolics alongside the Youth is a representation of God, or the Divine Hand which lifts us up when we're at our lowest.

For me, Halloween is about community - local community. Getting to know the neighbors around you and their kids in a fun way. If you are worried about your kids, go with them. That way, they will be safe from cars and pedophiles.

I've printed a few things on vellum off the computer and I liked the result. <br /><br />I get a Victorian themed calendar each year, so I am very familiar with the vegetable people. :) I get to see illustrations of them each fall. They might have been something that made more sense at the time. They seem like a cross between a jack-o-lantern and a harvest from the garden. They seem like a transition into jack-o-lantern carving from summer.Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.com
