I hope this note finds you well and that you’re just as excited as I am about this month. For me, October is a month-long celebration- the crisp air, the crunch of leaves, and a chance to dive headfirst into all things spooky and silly. It is, without a doubt, my favorite month of the year, and that autumnal wonder is woven into every part of this editon of ‘The Willow Times’. Settle in with a warm drink, and let’s spend a little time together in Willow Moss Wood.

This month, the whole community is buzzing about Halloween! From a costume party, to Trick-Or-Treat, it is one of the biggest nights of the year for the gnomes and, of course, for Toad. Much like the memories of my youth, our crew has a truly memorable night under the stars. It’s filled with laughs, a few spooks, and a reminder that the best adventures are the ones you share with your friends and loved ones.
