The Border Between Summer and Fall

 


Yes, that is what it is coming to. Weather in my area hasn't been particularly hot, but warm enough to feel sleepy by midday. 

Unlike last season, when the city too to long to approve the opening of Spirit Halloween (did not open till after the first of October), the store is now open. I've been by twice so far. Not ready to decide on anything, but so far not a lot of interesting stuff just yet, none I would jump on right away. Some displays look a little empty, which could mean they're still receiving shipments. The store wasn't completely crowed in the two times I've been so far. Here are some pictures of the display in the middle of the store that I took on yesterday's visit. (Other pictures to come).







I've been trying to find pumpkin treat buckets for a lawn decoration I've been planning (more on this another time). So far where I live, I've only seen them at Walgreens. Also looking on Amazon, but not sure about that yet.

Is Halloween the your holiday to decorate for, or do you like to do others in a big way?

I think September is more the mid-point, but not in a society that starts fall things come mid-August. But I can't wait to put out my autumn decor, but will wait until September. :)

It's still so hot here that I feel like I'm walking around in a bundt cake. The Fall can't come soon enough.

No, no, no. August is full summer. It's when the heat really blasts. I can't start thinking autumn until October, but only if it starts to cool off. (I remember some blistering Octobers, so that's not necessarily a foregone conclusion.)

Maybe in September you'll be able to find cheap pumpkin treat baskets at Value Village? Don't they go "all out" for thrifted Halloween items?
