仙台 えいごの教室

  The Halloween season has come again!

  As you know, Will grows pumkins to carve¹ Jack-o’-lanterns, so our prep² started in May. When they were planted in the field after making them sprout³ inside the house, they looked like this. This is our start.

  So many times Will drove to the field, carrying water and worrying about the weather conditions — if it was too wet⁴ or it was too hot. After harvesting them they occupied our living room because they have to stay dry, otherwise they will rot⁵.

Now it’s Halloween Time!!

  This year we have 2 humungous⁶ Jack-o’-lanterns and even though we had a long scorching⁷ summer and we lost quite a few, there are still many medium-sized ones. He made a fun display in front of our house. Will really worked hard to welcome our students to this Halloween house. This year even ghosts appeared in the display to welcome you!

  Even before Halloween, with pumpkins which started rotting, Will decided to make lanterns and display them at the door.  In the past he always chucked⁹ the rotten ones and put them in our compost pile but this is a good way to respect the unfortunate pumpkins which couldn’t make it to Halloween! We’ll keep doing it!

  Now 3 other houses in a row¹⁰ (not exactly but almost!) on our street are decorating their entrances for Halloween. Come and enjoy the Halloween Road!
