1 week

...till Trick or Treat night. This year, I'm hoping to activate the five senses with our 'Sacred Grove' display.

Sight- 63 glowing lanterns and an array of string lights
Sound- 15 ethereal songs cycling on the computer in the background
Smell- Cinnamon-sticks scented candle
Taste- A variety of candy
Touch- Several bags of leaves strewn on the porch and walkway for trick-or-treaters to crunch upon as they approach the door, and 50 lbs of dry ice flowing on the ground

I hope people feel a sense of the mystical, the sacred, and the beautiful when they visit our house that night.

And down the street, at our 'Spirit Grove' display, I'm hoping to activate the childhood imagination with a slightly spooky, organic, old-school style. I hope people feel a sense of classic Halloween fun as they stroll through the grove.
