Halloween is the about only time I hate that my neighborhood is isolated, quiet and dark (lots of trees, few streetlights). The few families with kids, most young now, go elsewhere. We can always hear lots of sound from the next neighborhood but it’s only accessible by a dangerous road. We got a group of two who live up the street at about 7:15 and that was all. I told them to take several but now I’m “stuck” with the rest of what I bought “just in case.” The arrival of the two startled the dog who then became convinced that more were out there and he would prevent being startled again by preemptively barking.
