I feel like I just pulled out the boxes of fall decor for September 1st, and now I have already boxed all of that back up and started tugging out the many, many boxes of Halloween decorations!
Every year, I tell myself I have more than enough fall and Halloween decorations. And every year, I buy more, anyway.
The inside of the house is decked out with ghosts, spiders, skulls, and jack-o-lanterns, but the show everyone is waiting for hasn’t started yet. My husband takes over for the outdoor display, and I turn the reins over to him. He’s been kicking around and mulling ideas for months now, and he has collected yet a few more items for the yard.
We have actually had neighbors come by in years past and ask when he is going to decorate, and cars have stopped so people can get a closer look once he has everything set up. He gets excited to show me something new, or when he changes something and wants someone to see it right away. It makes me smile to watch him get so into it.
I can’t believe it’s October already. Around here, the transition to fall just means the temps aren’t quite reaching 100 anymore, hovering around 85. I can’t wait for the first cool, breezy days. I can’t help wanting to shop for sweaters and sweatshirts, even if it’s still hot outside! It’s fall, damnit. Time for the weather to catch up.
