I've already told you lovely people just how much I love Halloween. I was born with a candy apple heart and candy corn in my soul. I love the smell of rubber masks, burning leaves and overripe pumpkins. I love the taste of popcorn balls, apple cider and baked pumpkin seeds. I love pumpkin patches, cheesy Jaycee's haunted houses and trick or treating.I am a fanatic for Halloween, and the closer it gets, the more frenzied I become.
However, I approach the holiday carefully lest it lose its luster by the time October 31 arrives. Some of my less sensible neighbors already have some Halloween decorations up. That is a mistake; I will not glory in the gory until October 1.
Here's what I did last year:
What's not obvious from the picture is the sad state of my skeleton lights, which I fear may need to be replaced this year, or the strobe lights in the pumpkins.
It's only beginning. Hee hee hee. I am rubbing my hands in gleeful anticipation.
