Tomorrow is Halloween. I'm undecided as the whether I should get a pumpkin and some candy to give out or just forget about it this year since I can't get to any of my decorations in storage. We put a bunch of stuff in there since we thought we were moving. It would take a couple of days to get to my stuff. I didn't get my decorations up last year (no time), so I got a whopping 3 trick-or-treaters that ventured into the mobile home park. The year before I had all my lights and stuff up. Several mothers told me they don't normally come in, but my decorations let them know from afar that they should. Damn. One thing I've noticed, though, is that people are not buying up pumpkins like they usually do. By now, you usually see pumpkins all over and finding one at a store is difficult. Every grocery store I passed today still had a huge pile of them. Is it that with the terrorist attack, people are not in the mood? Does it not seem like it's time for Halloween yet since it has been so warm? That's my dilemma. It feels like September, not the end of October. We've usually had at least one really bad snow by now and the leaves should be off the trees. I've got to get in gear and get a Thanksgiving feast prepared in three weeks. Aaaaargh!
