almost october.

Phil and (Ph)all last year

There are chubby orange pumpkins at the grocery store. They sit on hay bails by the sliding glass doors waiting for fingers to search through their pyramids to find the right one... just the right shape to become a cat, a witch, or a jack-o-lantern. When is the appropriate time to grab my own armful? 

The air feels even thinner here right now (hard to imagine) and crispier, like ginger ale. The tops of the mountains are blushing red with turning trees. The evenings are pure melted butter. It's GLORIOUS. 

I think fall is my favorite (at least at the moment). 

I've been cutting out little tiny paper bats. orange ones. purple ones. grey ones. I really need some black ones. I am dreaming of pumpkin smells and falling leaves. Crunchy crunchy delicious leaves. Where can I find a pile of leaves here in my little no backyard APT? 

Phil and I are brainstorming HALLOWEEN COSTUMES. Ideas appreciated. I am starting to really crave cheap candy.  We went on a walk this evening. This is something we like to do. It's free and makes me feel justified eating dessert. I had to put on a sweater which added to my excitement.

All of this to say it's almost October and I like it.
