Halloween wind chimes hanging by the station in the light drizzle of rain. The trees at the loading area for the trains were decorated with "spider webs" to add to the decor. |

Saturday morning I took these pictures of some of the pumpkins that we had lighted the night before. See, not all the pumpkins from last Wednesday that we carved looked like they may have been drinking. |
 |
 |
We had happy pumpkins with faces and some with images of Halloween all lighted after dark with candles. |
 |
 |
Some of the pumpkins had character and probably were carved by a character and some were intricate in their design. |
