And in comes November

Tonight it will be time to change our clocks back, which always messes with my internal time piece. But, since I can’t stop the months from flying by, and I do love the colors of fall and the other seasonal things that are associated with this month, I’d like to say welcome to Fall.

Isn’t it funny how the actual day to change the clocks back and forward seem to change each year? I never know if the time change will be the middle of October or the first week of November! All I know for sure is that when they do “fall back,” it gets dark before I leave work. I don’t like driving home in the dark. It makes me feel cheated of that little bit of daylight each afternoon.

Early Fall

Waking up this morning, I literally was shivering and had to turn on the furnace to get the chill out of the air. Looking out the back yard, I could see what I thought was frost on the grass. Of course, I didn’t go outside to check it out, but this 53 degree weather is a far cry from the 110 degree weather of two days ago. I’m not looking forward to the weather changing cold.

With the fall, come my favorite holiday, Halloween! The stores aren’t wasting any time getting the Halloween displays out either. They started that last month. There is even a Halloween store that opened up in town before the kids were back in school.

Time to start my projects! I should have started on costumes a long time ago, instead of figuring I had more than enough time. I’m mainly sticking to making masks and a costume or two for those who have already commissioned me. So much to do and so little time.
