I know...I have been behind on posting, so you may get a few posts out of me today! To start off...it's finally beginning to look a lot like Fall. After warmer than normal temperatures, this last week has taken a sudden turn (for the worse if you ask me). I'm not a fan of cold temperatures, my flowers dying and having to be thrown away, or my tree dropping a mess of leaves all over my yard. But...there are a few things I enjoy about Fall.
I love to decorate for Halloween! M started begging me mid-September to decorate, and I held out until the last week of September. This is the first year that I have ever had my Summer flowers in the ground at the same time I had Halloween decorations up!
The next thing I like about Fall is our annual trip to Pack's Pumpkin Patch. Ron and the kids always make sure we go at the beginning of the month to get the best selection of pick-your-own pumpkins.
And finally, this thing about Fall makes me a little bit sad. The rule in our house has always been that if you are out of Elementary School, you are out of the Trick-or-Treating scene. Well...this is the first year in 19 years that I haven't had someone to dress up. Sad, huh? Fortunately, I got a little satisfaction when L had to dress up for a food drive edition of Trick-or-Treat in our neighborhood. He revisited the Mad Scientist again and had a lot of fun.
Happy Fall (finally)! I'm pretty sure winter will be right around the stinkin' corner!
