Henry, our Halloween visitor

I stuffed the sweatshirt with pillows, and the legs of the pants with old towels.  Gathering the sweatshirt, pants, athletic shoes and the smiling pumpkin head, I headed to the front porch. After assembling the parts, I stepped back to critique my work.  The wind nearly tore off my hat, so I secured a scarf around "Henry" the pumpkin man's neck to hold on his head..  He smiled at me, as if to say "Tomorrow, on Halloween eve, I will welcome the trick or treaters." I headed into the house to make dinner and then checked to see how Henry was doing.   Bats in the belfry!  He was headless.  I rushed outside to find his head in a bush!  This time around, I stuck the visor of his cap (he likes to wear his hat backward) down his sweatshirt.  Only time will tell.  I poured bags of goodies into the bowl and placed the bowl on the hutch (out of the reach of the dogs).  We are ready.  Happy Halloween!
