After a rainy day, the weather cleared in time to encourage the trick-or-treaters to come out. We had more than usual and I was afraid we'd run out of Mounds bars, so a couple of times I gave out one each instead of two. I needn't have been so parsimonious—the flow dried up at 9:00 as if someone had thrown a switch, and I turned out the porch light at 9:30.
It was a more pleasant group of people this year, too. At least one, and usually all, in every group said "thank you"; only one, very young, asked, "Can I have more?"; most were young children escorted by parents; and the only group of older kids (middle school, I'd guess) had costumes and were polite. Very encouraging.
