"Seasons of Mist and Mellow Fruitfulness..."

Ah, October....you are my favorite time of year! For so many reasons, let me count the ways...

(1) My hubby and I just celebrated our 2nd Wedding Anniversary on the 25th.  Since it fell on a Monday this year we designated the entire weekend before as "anniversary weekend", and picnicked in our backyard, strolled through "our" park, and my hubby grilled an incredible steak dinner to finish the weekend off perfectly. Ahh...married life is bliss!

(2) Halloween is this weekend!! It crept upon us somehow, but now it is here, and we are ready with costumes and spirits of adventure.  Beginning tonight...

(3) Anne Rice Costume Ball 2010- Memnoch the Devil @ the Republic- I've been wanting to attend this function for several years now but was never given the opportunity.  We will be going with friends and seeing other friends/acquaintances there.  Our costumes will dazzle everyone! And hopefully three hours will be enough time to transform this legal secretary into a wicked sorceress with eyes of fire! lol

(4) The weather is finally taking a cold turn, as it is prone to do this time of year.  The weather changes in late October, finally descending into cool, shedding its cloak of humidity and affording us room to breathe here in the Deep South.

For this, and so many other reasons, I am loving the month of October.  Hope that this finds all my gentle readers enjoying crisp autumn temps, candy, costumery, pumpkins and spiders, and, as always..."all treats and no tricks!"
