“The swaying electric lamp belled in the wind like a cathedral bell. The bricks of the street became planks of a drunken ship all tilted and foundered with dark and light.”
“The town was full of trees. And dry grass and dead flowers now that autumn was here.
The wind outside nested in each tree, prowled the sidewalks in invisible treads like unseen cats.”
Should have posted this one Sunday.
Not really sure what to say today. Just savoring the weather as it continues to cool down. It's nice to have some time to relax this year and be present. And watch a bunch of spooky shows. This is the only time of year I really watch TV, and there's so much good stuff out for the season now. Do you have any must-see recommendations?
As I continue this little project, I'll let you know what to expect. I love October and Halloween. I think it's reasonable to say that those who do correlate it with our childhood. As such, when I was a kid I used to watch 'scary' movies and associated a lot of the monsters with Halloween. So movies are a big part of the Halloween experience...

Deadened branches stirred by the whispers in the wind,
Fall children fill the streets at dusk, at last it all will begin.
That GIF, that's me getting ready for all things October and spooky. I looked at the forecast again this morning and it's better now. 50-degree days by Friday! Oh man, I can't wait. The ole' wood-burning stove will be back in action soon. And I found something new to add to these that should increase your holiday spirit. Stay tuned, friends.

After that, the days are in the 60s with the nights getting down into the 40s. Bring. It. On. I'm really excited for some 50-degree days, but I can wait. The anticipation will only make the reward sweeter. And guess...

So close to kicking this little project off the way I intended. I started a little earlier than originally planned because it seemed like so much fun. But that just gave me an opportunity to dedicate some time to the celebration of fall. Thank you everyone who has commented or given it some love already. Just a few more days and the real fun begins.

The weather has been decent here lately though it's been raining a lot. I won't complain, despite the precipitation it's still been pleasant. Still waiting on those crisp mornings though and it looks like I'll have to keep waiting. 80-degree temps in the forecast this weekend. What the hell? Must be summer's death rattle. It's right, in my mind I'm already here.
Ah, what to post today? More fall stuff. October is just a few days away and I'm savoring the anticipation of its arrival. "The suspense is killing me, I hope it will last." With that being said......
