A wonderful Halloween filled with Wild Things...
And Family and Nicole's Homemade Chili and SNOWFLAKES...a veritable blizzard of snowflakes and trick or treater's...and a two hour (unrelated) Power Outage necessitating a collection of candles burning that would dazzle the Pope...and Halloween candy, pumpkin shaped cookies to be decorated and chili eaten by candle-light and Emma reading "Good Night Goon" (a parody of the original Good Night Moon)...and even a viewing of"Monster House" once the power was restored! A night that left the Grands loudly proclaiming:
"Best Halloween...EVER!"
Undaunted by the blowing snow and (adult numbing) cold.
The Power Outage (the result of a wreck which left the entire town of Cloverdale without power for a while) was somehow almost creepy perfect...as the kids played hide and seek with glow-lights!
Came home late to Chris and Tina who had dressed up and attended Adam's Halloween Bash as The Joker and Harley Quinn
Seemingly overnight! The last throes of Fall. And Winter right around the corner.
Winter.
Met up with my old friend/long ago lover- this week for our Annual (although this year has been bi-annual) brunch. A picnic in the Fall Leaves. Even managed to catch sight of a beautiful...and unseasonal bluebird. The Bluebird of Happiness, no doubt. Catching up. Deciding to up the ante and meet seasonally instead of annually. So our parting sounded very... don't know...Victorian. Romantic. Endearing.
"I Shall See You in The Winter"
(As though The Winter was an exotic locale instead of the blustery, cold snow-filled event it always is in Indiana.)
The Winter.
I think I like it.
