Happy Sunday to all! Not a pretty day out there, raining and windy but not cold. Once in a while, I like a rainy day as it forces us to just stay put and relax. And that is what we will be doing for the rest of the day after I put away all the Halloween/Fall decorations. Getting ready for the next holiday season!
Halloween was a huge success on Forest Hill Lane. For the first time since we've been here, we had two families with one kid each that came to our house around dinner time. Wow, it was hard to keep up with the crowd..... but it was nice to finally be able to share our candies with the little ones. As you can see from the photos, Russell took great pains in turning three pumpkins into spooky Jack-o'-Lanterns. Those pumpkins are now scattered on our septic berm for the deer to eat. I have to tell you that they ate all of the small pumpkins that we had in our wheel barrow, in about two days. Russell was able to capture one in the act. We never knew that they liked pumpkin so much. What a great way to dispose of them!
So, today is Eat your Kid's Halloween Candy Day. Hmm....I wonder how that works in real life. I don't recall that special day when I was a kid.....
Today is also the beginning of a brand new month, the 11th month of the year. Wow, I can't believe that Christmas is next month! Our Independent Grocer already has all the Christmas decorations out and the local stores are gearing up for the holiday season. What is missing is snow and that's fine with us. November of 2014 brought a lot of snow in Huntsville. So far, at least for the first week of this month, the forecast is nice and relatively mild. Bring it on!
All is good with us and the Coop. We didn't do much this past week other than going to the gym. We had two full days of rain and I was still under the weather from that nasty cold. Russell spent a lot of time blowing the leaves. We seem to have a lot more this year, strangely enough.
That's about it for my news. All the photos in today's blog are Halloween related. I wish you all a great week and a good start to November.
