Quiet day off here - so quiet I don't have much to say. It's starry out - sweet fall night. I have all my Halloween decorations out- raven and owls sitting on candlesticks. Bright pumpkins and hanging bats. The kids helped me decorate. I had at least as much fun as they did. This part of the holiday cycle is clearly my favorite - all warm colors and scents. The sunset glowed apricot and hazy.
