Every year it's the same. I turn the calendar page to October, and my soul fills with giddy delight.
I consider October the beginning of the holiday season. I start gaining weight in October. We watch the first of what I like to call the Charlie Brown Triad. October also brings sweatshirt weather. Butternut squash becomes acceptable to both the palate and the pocketbook. College football transitions into conference play. Baked goods often turn up on your doorstep. It officially becomes acceptable to pull out the courduroys, turtleneck sweaters, and leather boots.
This week Jack and I kicked of the season by making Kleenex ghosts--the extent of my crafting prowess, picking out a beauty of a pumpkin, checking out some ghoulish books from the library, and watching Linus learn that the fury of a woman scorned is nothing compared to the fury of a woman cheated out of tricks or treats.
Tonight I make butternut squash soup.
Happy October.
