Happy Halloween Season!

It is that time of the year when kids and grownups alike pick out their favorite costumes, and wander off trick or treating or to their favorite haunts for a frighteningly good time.

I know this is my favorite time of the year I love the smells of fall and the the slow decay of everything green. It helps me to get ready to slow down and get ready to enjoy the coming winter season.

I look forward to long nights the sounds and smells of a fire burning.

To me there is nothing better then sitting with my family with a nice mug of hot spiced freshly spiced cider.

In the coming weeks I am sure I will be spending more time online and on Twitter. Chatting it up with old lost friends and connecting more then I do in the summer season.

As I was thinking of a costume for my kids and myself, I though to myself:  “I should Dress up my Twitter Profile!”

So I did!

You can too! I have assembled a collection of Halloween themed Twitter Backgrounds and Avatars.

I am sure you can find one to suit your “Ghoulish” mood!
