I hate being sick
It’s not summer
Long sleeved jackets
College football games
Candy corn at Walgreens
Knee high socks
Halloween decorations
A bag of candy corn
7:30 a.m. sun down the middle of 21st street
Bright blue skies
Afternoon sun shining through bright orange leaves
Candy corn
Sitting on the back deck with the cool north wind on your face
Saturday afternoon nap with the window open
The harvest moon
Colorful candy corn
The sounds & smell of the Fair
Knitting a scarf
Did mention candy corn???
As they are walking up the stairs I just start singing and dancing and they can hardly contain their excitement, “When midnight strikes on Halloween the strangest sight you’ve ever seen…”. I must admit, I’m excited too. Who would have ever thought that a first grader’s enthusiasm could be catching?
