Tis Hallowe’en and I’m here again
from the man in the Moon in an aeroplane
My charms are new and right up to date
Go tell by the Cards your fortune and fate.

I love this Halloween postcard from 1917 from the NYPL digital collections.

It’s not the most colorful, but as the message points out, all the necessary ingredients are present – a jack o’lantern, the black cat (who doesn’t looked thrilled to be there), owls and I really love the witch with her now outdated broom as she’s decided to fly by aeroplane instead!

Have a safe and fun Halloween!

It doesn’t seem possible that a quarter century has passed since that day, but it will be 25 years tomorrow.

Take a moment today to remember the thousands of innocent people who died that day and all the brave first responders who survived, but later died from the effects of the attack.

R.I.P. to All Who Perished

Summer is winding down, officially over in just a couple of weeks, but traditionally at an end with Labor Day weekend here in the United States.

Not only is summer fun coming to an end, but soon, the boat will be stored for the winter!

Enjoy this last hurrah of Summer 2026!
