The Calendar...

Has anyone looked at the calendar lately?

I have ____ days until my lights come on (look at my postbit).

Where has this year gone?

Almost time?

Actually, my wife does an annual autumn harvest display. Just a couple of bales of hay, a kiddy-looking scarecrow or two (Walmart this year) and usually some potted late-blooming flowers such as mums. We put that out about two weeks ago. The neighbor across the street yelled at us that it wasn't even October yet, why were we putting out Halloween? I asked her what was Halloweenish about what we had out? A single strand of orange lights had been added as an accent. She said she'd have to go back in and tell her son it wasn't a Halloween display after all.

I'll have the kid help me put up the Halloween lights this weekend, and figure out where the pumpkin choir is going to go. It's my first year for LOR, so I'll accept the help gladly.
