Here you go Mags.

Thanks FC!:)

Hehe, look at the post, writing, then look just below it (in the actual post).

i know. i agree.

it's a bummer.

oh well. we must enjoy it while it lasts, i suppose.

I love this time of year too. When I took my dog out this morning, the ground was crunchy cuz the dew froze overnight. Crunchy with all the leaves on the ground too, but the frozen dew makes a different kind of crunch.

Someone here used to have their title or bio as "I'm crunchy", but it was a long time ago and I don't remember who it was, but I always liked that.

Now that I'm in an apartment with a deck, I feel like decorating again. So I wrapped lights around my deck railing and hung a big spider out there.

I origianaly had the spider looking like he was crawling over the top of my lawn chair, but you couldn't see it well enough from the ground outside, so I tied him to the vertical posts on the deck. So much fun. :)

Rayne - Drawing faces on the pumpkins until the actual "day" is a great idea to keep them from rotting. Never thought of that. And I love roasting the pumpkins seeds. Tasty.

Yeah this is my second favorite time of year,the first being winter.I love it too when the ground crunches like that.I also think like MM said when the leaves drop and the leaves on the tress die is pretty.It sucks that my mom or my grandma don't celebrate halloween.My aunt and uncle still dress up though.(On my mothers side).So i might dress up.I don't know yet.I want to decorate though.I've never carved a pumpkin either.EVER.Nor have a ate roasted pumpkin seeds.


Great thread MM.

I love the way that from 20th -31st there are sooooo many parties you can go to!

I'm so cold right now,its like 40 degrees here:)

I know, it's pretty chilly up here too. They're talking a slight chance of snow this weekend. brrrrrrrrrrrrr...but I still love this time of year. :D
