Currently 54 degrees with a mild breeze. Clove incense in the garden and a lot of plans for the weekend... picking up some cornstalks and pumpkins, hanging with friends to go apple picking... and then some appropriate Oktoberfest activities. I need this workday to end immediately.
The Haunt build has gone well, and everything is just chilling in the basement waiting for the big day. I had a chimney guy in the house a week ago and we went down into the basement. And as I always say to anyone going down there: "Just a warning - this house is really into Halloween." He technically was the first outsider to see what we have in store for this year's "1987" Display and I'm delighted to say it was a very big hit.
When the weather turns like this, it's almost an electric feeling, with thoughts of orange lights, leaves blowing in the street, and rustling cornstalks. There are scarecrow festivals, pumpkin fields, and chilly spooky nights ahead.
And if you missed it, here's a little teaser for this year's Haunt.
