It is October after all.
Time to really begin the window dressing on seasonal decorations. One of the things Chris really enjoys are her Halloween decorations.
Those of you who know me, know that I'm not a huge fan of Halloween. I like the candy (a bit too much) but that's about it. But, in the spirit(s) of the season we decorate the house because, well, it is a piece of American tradition that keeps us from becoming stogy.
There is so much inertia to overcome in doing anything different these d
ays. It seems the easiest thing to do is nothing at all. And then feel guilty about it later.

We only have a small Halloween village--because it is out for less than a month. But it does get me excited for the Snow Village and its arrival in the house, now scheduled for November 20th.
That of course, begins the Christmas season--with all of its special sets of issues.

For now though--the next celebration on the radar is Halloween. And the nights are getting colder and the days are cooler.
Autumn is fully in control now. I guess we need to embrace it because, as the line from one movie reports: "resistance is futile!"
