Soon all our pumpkins will be as lost as the ones seen here. Personally, I’m not sorry. For most of October we’ve had our fall and it’s been a relatively fine one. After today, the eye wanders to the start of the holiday season, extended and early as so much of our world seems to be these days.
The arrival of Halloween is viewed with mixed feelings in our house. Andy and I will arrive home after a work day and there’s usually already a group of kids waiting eagerly to demand candy before we can even pull into the garage. I despise the eager as much as I despise the tardy. This season my Halloween costume is Hateful Creature. I’ll be wearing it all year.
