Spooky

I know it is a little early for Halloween but it is October. These decorations arrived in my mailbox today from Alan and Karie, my brother and sister-in-law. The skeleton glows in the dark so am looking forward to it getting dark tonight so that I can see it look super spooky.

Surprisingly, the grocery stores here do sell some Halloween stuff. The displays are pretty small and are just on the ends of the aisles. They have a few costumes and some small decorations but nothing great. So I was thrilled to receive the package today with these spooky things.

I really like Halloween and especially autumn so am sad that I am missing it this year. I love it when the leaves change and drop to the ground and especially love the noise they make when you walk through a pile of them. It is one of my favorite things to do. Partly because it reminds me of my brothers and I raking leaves in the backyard when we were young and partly because it reminds me of my usual anniversary vacation to Maine.

So these spooky decorations along with pumpkin spice coffee that Alan brought to Hawaii and some delicious pumpkin pie granola bars I found at Target there will give me some sites and tastes of an autumn.
