We are experiencing such a heat wave here! I was out doing errands for less than an hour, and felt completely sick and nauseous by the end. After I was home awhile and cooled off in the air conditioning, I decided to play “Pretend it’s October.”
If you would like to play, make a pot of your favorite tea that you like with milk and sugar (that would be Thomas for me!), grab your favorite pastry (that would be a pain au chocolat for me!) and sit on the sofa eating and drinking and pretending and say things like, “Good thing we made a pot of tea! It sure is getting nippy, it being October and all!” and “Oh! I may need the blanket! I am chilled in this October air!” and “I just love tea and pastry when the weather is turning cold!”
If you are impressionable, like me, it will work for awhile :)
Thank you once again ashmanra for this extra magical tin of Thomas.

Once, last year, I took a cold shower and cranked the a/c just so I could really enjoy my hot tea! :) It may BE October somehow…I have a huge, ripe pumpkin in my garden that I didn’t even plant!
Don’t forget to light a candle that smells like cloves and spices or pumpkin. Mmm! Smell those lovely wet leaves. I wonder where I stored the long underwear when I put it away in April…
Lovely idea! I’ll play this evening when I have more time to enjoy!
Ashmanra – that is SO cool about the random pumpkin!
gmathis – ack! I didn’t think of a fall spiced candle! I’ll have to do this again tomorrow :)
ashmanra – a PUMPKIN!?!?!? He hee :) I wonder where that seed blew in from.
Azzrian – if you do it in the evening you can pretend even more things about “How early it’s getting dark!” etc ;)

Here you go, Jacqueline! That should put you in the fall mood for sure! It is bigger than a basketball! I am sure one of the seeds from our jack o’lanterns fell out of the composer and just took off in the pile where hubby mixes the soil!
I rummaged around in my paper stock and pulled out all the fall colors and started thinking about making Thanksgiving cards…
Um….composter, not composer!
ashmanra – a beauty! You have this year’s jack o lantern all ready, it being October and all. ;) P.S. My burgundy with a yellow center mums are blooming, that’s pretty October, too!
