I wish the wife and I could participate, we’d make homemade pumpkin spice ice cream.

This translation is by M. D. Herter Norton 1938:
Autumn Day
Lord, it is time. The summer was very big.
Lay thy shadow on the sundials,
and on the meadows let the winds go loose.
Command the last fruits that they shall be full;
give them another two more southerly days,
urge them on to fulfillment and drive
the last sweetness into heavy wine.
Who has no house now, will build him one no more.
Who is alone now, long will so remain,
will wake, read, write long letters
and will in the avenues to and fro
restlessly wander, when the leaves are blowing
Jeremiah 8.20 also came to mind:
"The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved."

Made me think of the conversation the wife and I were having the other night about bringing stores into His barn
Sounds like you guys have some interesting, Scriptural discussions; God bless you both! :)

By God's grace, Christians glean many things spiritually from their Scripture storehouse. :)

@Waiting on him PS: Malachi 3.10 also comes to mind:
"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
You anywhere near St. Petersburg, FL? We can clear out a spare room for ya.... or we could get one of our friends to put you up at a nicer place.

Ruth 2:16-17 KJV
[16] And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not. [17] So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.

@Waiting on him PS: I hope that they keep James Smith's Handfulls of Purpose in print, for a long time... :)

Very kind offer, but unfortunately we’re in North Carolina. Does sound as if you guys have a good thing going. God bless.
The whole Halloween calendar context does have harvest as a general background. And as @Waiting on him has indicated, there are many verses of Scripture about it, in one way or another, which are so profitable; and we don't need to get involved in any mumbo-jumbo about Halloween, either.
