Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I'm snuggled for a night of goblins and candy give-aways. My husband is making a frittata for our dinner, and apple cider with mulling spices is warming on the stove. I really savor this time of year. It's the little things: the candy corn, the urge to bake, the music.

October slipped by so quickly I feel cheated. 'Tis the season for big projects at work. Plus, I threw in some travel and a nasty sinus infection. It didn't leave much time for knitting and blogging and talking with friends.

But now we've arrived at Halloween. It might seem like a single day, but really, it is a day of many decisions. Will this be the year I actually do NanoWrimo? It starts tomorrow. Will this be the year I get Christmas shopping finished so that December can actually be enjoyed? Will my house be cleaned before holiday guests begin to arrive? November is a high-stakes month in the personal goals department.

I might just decide to make November a month for knitting and blogging and talking with friends. And savoring the season. I wonder if we have any candy corn.
