We have a week to go in this month, and yet I’m already seeing Halloween decorations on houses.
I get it. A lot of folks reeeaaaaaally get into Halloween. And for them, this is as big as it gets. If they go all out, they may need to pace themselves and get cracking as early as possible. Turning one’s yard into a spectacle can take a lot of time. (I’m imagining anyway, as I don’t turn my yard into anything. It barely qualifies as a yard for cry-eye.) We used to have a neighbor who spent well over a month spooking-out his yard. And I’m not kidding when I tell you that by the time he was finished, there was hardly any space left to walk. I’m also not kidding when I tell you how much Mister and I used to appreciate his handiwork. It was spectacular!
Then again, maybe people are thinking that if they shake a tail feather, Halloween will get here faster. Maybe. I, for one, welcome this coming month. May she bring goblins and cooler weather. I wouldn’t kick a spiced cider out of bed, either. I’m just sayin’.
