Hallowe’en during a pandemic

Unfortunately COVID also changed our traditional Hallowe’en celebrations this year.  In the ‘hotspot’ areas of Ontario families were strongly encouraged by the government not to go trick-or-treating this year, and in areas where is was still allowed it had to be adapted so that physical contact was reduced as much as possible.  One thing that didn’t have to change though was our tradition of decorating our houses - and here are some photos I’ve taken over the past few weeks.  A little bit of something pleasurable during a time when many people are becoming increasingly sad and worried and feelings of isolation are really on the increase.




















All set up for trick-or-treating at my place.  The jack-o-lantern and pre-made, individual, treat bags are set up in the middle of the lawn and I sat back on the porch to ensure physical distancing.  Obviously not nearly the same as what we’re used to with all the interaction gone, but still hopefully a bit of fun for the kids.
