\nHalloween 2022 — Park Avenue side garden<\/p>\n
Editor’s Note: At Refuge Farm we had the weekly visit from the wound care lady. She looked at the covering over the ankle injury, inserted a glove-clad finger on the edge and popped it off. “Healed,” she said. There was mild applause that the one-year medical adventure was complete.<\/p>\n

Author’s Note: We had over sixty trick-or-treaters last night after missing the past two celebrations. Lots of adorable firsties. All but a small handful were accompanied by parents.<\/p>\n
We and our flickering monsters lovingly scared the crap outta some of \u2018em. One almost catapult launched himself off the porch when he spotted a looming, silent, orange-faced monster swaying over the porch railing towards him.<\/p>\n
Our last T&T eve in 2019 saw more than a hundred.<\/p>\n
After a long wait we\u2019re finally feeling good ourselves about this new brief new old normal.<\/p>\n

\nHalloween 2022 — Park Avenue front porch<\/p>\n
Seems we finally got a change of scene
\nCause last night kids had the strangest dreams
\nNo longer imprisoned by the way it could have been
\nLeft out here on their own or so it seems
\nThey got to beg before they started to scream
\nNo more locked doors and thrown away keys<\/p>\n
Feelin’ alright
\nKids’re feelin’ real good themselves
\nFeelin’ alright
\nWe’re feelin’ real good ourselves<\/p>\n
Boy, they sure took us for one big ride
\nAnd even now we sit and wonder why
\nThat’s when we stop thinking of them
\nWe stop ourselves from crying
\nNo more wasting our time
\nWe gotta keep tryin’
\nWe done stopped believing in all these lies
\nBecause there’s too much to do before we die<\/p>\n
Feelin’ alright
\nKids’re feelin’ real good themselves
\nFeelin’ alright
\nWe’re feelin’ real good ourselves<\/p>\n
No more getting too lost in all they say
\nBut at the time you know, we really felt that way
\nBut that was then and now we know it’s a new day
\nWe can’t get stuck so guess we’re back to stay
\n‘Til someone comes along and takes our place
\nWith a different name and a different face<\/p>\n
Feelin’ alright
\nKids’re feelin’ real good themselves
\nFeelin’ alright
\nWe’re feelin’ real good ourselves<\/p>\n
