I guess I should admit right up front that it didn’t seem like Halloween. I usually love to take a walk through the neighborhood during Trick or Treat, but it was damp and cooler and too wet for me this year.
It was a very gray, cloudy morning, but I noticed before I got in the shower that the sun was peeping through a hole in the clouds! It never really did come out today at all.
And after all that work yesterday raking and bagging leaves, today it looks like I never touched it. When I got home there were quite a number on the ground, but by late afternoon it was completely covered. Ugh. Pretty sure they won’t get done for a few weeks, now. They look sort of quaint out there so if the neighbors don’t mind I guess I can manage.
I had to stop at the bank on the way to Greensburg, and their fall decorations were really nice! And they also solved my issue…
I have been looking for an inexpensive button-down shirt with no collar to wear on Thursday – found one, very unexpectedly, at Burlington! They have some really good prices in that store but I seldom think about going there!
I managed to tuck myself away in my downstairs family room to avoid Trick or Treat. I usually pick one thing to spend candy money on: Trunk or Treat, or Trick or Treat. So I shut up the house, locked the doors, and turned off the lights upstairs. Then I finished laundry, did the ironing, ran the sweeper, went through the mail, checked emails, looked at a magazine, and paid a few bills – plus baked at meatloaf and had a slice!
I also took down the Halloween decorations (not the fall ones) and then added my Thanksgiving things. So that’s done, too.
October 31 – Do you have a special Halloween memory? “We used to go out & throw corn at the windows of the neighbors. It was always chilly weather & we would run from farm house to farm house. It was fun to think we frightened these ‘old folks’.”
