Currently 62 degrees. Windows open with some clove incense sticks out in the garden. And Harold Budd playing in the background. If I didn't know better, I'd think it were Autumn.

I'd "Accidentally" Fall In
A row of cooks stands with their 20-foot wide, 3,699-pound pumpkin pie Saturday Sept. 25, 2010, that will be the world's largest once certified by Guinness World Records. The giant pie was baked in New Bremen Ohio and sponsored by the New Bremen Giant Pumpkin Growers during the town's annual Pumpkinfest. The massive pie took over thirteen hours to bake in a specially made oven.

Willow Cove Manor: The Etsy Shoppe
Got this amazing pumpkin from Willow Cove's shop and it is stellar in person. Has such a wonderful vintage feel to it, like something you'd find in a roadside antique store.

Kali The Terrible, Kali The Ferocious
Only in extensive stages of decay can the dead be told from the lepers. The dead are greater in number now, and even the lepers look human when compared to the dead. But that is only if you get close enough to look into the eyes. The faces in various stages of wet and dry rot, the raw ends of bones rubbing through skin like moldy cheesecloth, the cancerous domes of the skulls are the same. After a certain point lepers could no longer stay alive begging in the streets, for most people would now flee in terror at the sight of a rotting face. As a result the lepers were dying, then coming back, and the two races mingled like some obscene parody of incest.

Monster Mash Bloody Mary Challenge
I DO love a good Bloody Mary (started off my day today with one at a really neat diner). I'm really hoping the event below is continued again this October. Most of these sound utterly amazing. Thanks, Wren! I WILL have a green Bloody Mary before I croak. Never even knew they existed.
The Martian Project Sculpture Design Contest
In anticipation of the 85th anniversary of Orson Welles’ infamous radio broadcast in which Martian tripods were said to have landed in West Windsor, West Windsor Arts, in collaboration with the Historical Society of West Windsor, is hosting a sculpture design contest! The winning design will be used to create blank, fiberglass sculptures, which will be given to local artists to decorate, and the designer will win a cash prize of $500. This creative Martian invasion will be on display at various West Windsor locations during October 2023.

Kinda Perfect
Abandoned
in the weed-choked yard. Stones in the fields
say he was not a farmer; the still-sealed jars
in the cellar say she left in a nervous haste.
And the child? Its toys are strewn in the yard
like branches after a storm—a rubber cow,
a rusty tractor with a broken plow,
a doll in overalls. Something went wrong, they say.
