Frost and Halloween, Fall is Here, Almost, Soon...

It's right around the corner, anyway! We had light frost on the windshield this morning, and it's a fact that Halloween is next week, so I know that Autumn has to be around here somewhere.

We have many things that probably need to be dealt with around here, but we just leave alone, and one of those things is that we have bats. A few creeped out from under the roof tin the other day to hang around. We also have a couple of black cats (not to mention a bunch of other color of cats) and some pumpkins, so we're set for the holiday.

We ordered a costume from Moon Costumes. I think it's too late, though, and we won't get it until after Halloween.

If you're in the mood to shop for creepy things, go on over to ebay's metaphysical auctions, where you can buy haunted items. There's a lot of other weird stuff on there, too.

I got that tip from the Kovel's newsletter about antiques and collectibles. I don't collect, but they are entertaining and have pictures of interesting and unusual things that you don't usually see, or haven't seen in a long time.
