Pumpkin fun- socks and- civic duty

these are our creations this year, we didn't carve last year. I finnally convinced S to " do " halloween again-- a couple of years ago we had two 4 foot tall black lights and an awesome display and some kids from the neighboorhood - stole our lights and smashed up some of the cool stuff we had - a day after Halloween.

So we bought two new black lights and some cool florecent stuff ( lights up) - and I will take some pictures of it tonight or tomorrow. S mounted the lights under the eave on the house and now they will be safe from vandals this year.

I want some one to knit me a pair of these- look at what Rebecca Sower got a picture on her blog
I voted ! one of the largest ballots the State of Colorado has had since 1902, it was difficult and time consuming, But I feel good knowing that my Freedom has been protected and exercised.

It's feeling like fall around here

This picture was taken by me a long time ago, but it is a great visual of what time of year it is around these parts. on my way home from the office on Tuesday night I went by the " patch" Where one might pick your own lovely orange orb. I may drag S and Hh and SSD2 to a little excusion on Saturday afternoon, I have a hankeren for one of my own. And as always more pictures of these fine Symbols of the season.

I have started drinking more Tea as well, another one of the things I do at this time of the year, This is my Favorite time of the year. Time for a fall outing to Celestial seasonings maybe on the agenda too, hmmn might have to make this a big round with both activities this weekend..... we will see.....
