After saying last week, I didn't want to think about Halloween yet, now I want to even more. Just this morning I drove past our empty Kmart building and while stalled at the traffic light before turning left to get into the parking lot, I saw an orange sign in the Kmart window. I knew what that had to be! And I had already getting emails about the stores hiring and one saying that the first store will be opening in New Jersey in August. I'm now hoping that the opening of the store in my town won't be delayed again this year.
Halloween items still haven't appeared in most stores, but there were some fall pumpkins and candles at the Dollar Tree. As I've said, the summer stuff is now slim pickings, and that we're having a "No Beach Beach Day" at work on Wednesday next week. My friend couldn't find a lot of beach stuff there or at Dollar General last Saturday. I'm glad I still have some stuff I can wear. (More on "No Beach Beach Day" to come.)
And just this morning I began searching for ideas fo alway decorations for Halloween using solar-powered light stakes. One I've seen is to cut a hole in the bottom of a plastic jack-o-lantern bucket (used for candy collecting) and screw the stake light into the hole. That sounds like a great idea. I'm almost certain I will do it. Such buckets often turn up at Goodwill, but not yet as far as I have seen. But I know I'll need to snag some as quickly as I can, once the starting pouring into the stores. I knew the light stales would be sold out before summer was half over. That is why I've bought those already. And glad I did, as I have not seen any left at either Dollar Tree or Dollar General (I got some from both stores).

I did an art piece yesterday that turned out to be unintentionally distinctly dark and Halloweenish in its vibe. There's something in the air alright!
Gosh... I guess because we live in a community with more retired people, I don't see many people with Halloween decorations out. I used to love seeing it in Illinois. I hope you find fun buys soon. And gosh. I don't even know if we have a K-Mart anymore in Hawaii.
It's absolutely time to start planning Halloween, especially if you're making things.
I'm not thinking about Halloween yet. I'm still working on summer plans. But I have a feeling that we don't decorate as much as you do.
When I went to a local store that is next to the building where Spirit Halloween will be, I noticed the sign they are coming soon. I wonder how soon that will be.
Halloween will be here before we know it. The jack o lantern buckets with light stakes sounds fun.
