Yesterday, I bought Halloween candy.  I call it pre-Halloween candy because it probably won’t last till then, especially since it’s Kit Kats and Reese Cups.

I also turned on the heat yesterday morning because there was a chill in the house.  The heat!  We turned the air off weeks ago.

I brought the plants in too.  Our patio and deck are so empty and dirty now, like the day after a good party.  It was a good party…spring and summer I mean.

It’s hard to enjoy Fall despite the Halloween decorations I put up last weekend and the caramel and harvest candles I’m burning even now as I write this.  I guess because I know there will be a frost soon, forcing the trees to finish off their changes and just drop all their changing leaves on the lawn.  The grass will die.  The branches will be barren. My flower beds will wilt and die.

Winter comes too soon, and I hate falling into it.
