Favorite Time of Year
September 19, 2007 | Uncategorized
I have always loved fall, and October is my favorite month. Memories of apple orchards, apple cider, colorful tress, fallen leaves, Halloween, Thanksgiving, cooler evenings and days fill my mind. Here in coastal Virginia, the leaves generally don’t fall until Novemeber, but I love to drive to Williamsburg and northern Virginia and absorb the scenery of the changing colors.
Generally I try to put up my Halloween decorations around September 15. I like to have at least a full month to enjoy my lawn decorations. I think my neighbors have come to the conclusion my house is Halloween central. Some of them will decorate and some try to “out do” each other. Dont you just love that? NOT!!!
I just enjoy having fun and turning my simple ranch into a “Haunted House”. To add to the fun, on Halloween night I dress in my long black gown and long black velvet cape (I custom ordered it from England about 5 years ago), witches hat, and hand out goodies to the children. Of course, the candy is in my cauldron! Its SPELLtacular!! Haha….
Do you decorate for fall or Halloween/Samhain? If so what do you do for decorations and do you have a problem with your neighbors trying to put up bigger and better decorations? (This really happens at Christmas time with the lights, etc) What is your favorite season?
Slainte!
