Exhaustion + darkness does tend to depress the spirits.

I can't bear the thought of the long winter to come... but this year I'm thinking I'll make the most of being at home to read, write and craft! Go to your art journal planning notebook and see what you can do now that you haven't had time for. Then you'll have to show us in one of your creativity posts. <br />PS.

I love it, I love the crispness in the air, the getting dark early, the smell of someone (somewhere) burning leaves. It always seems to make my mood lighter, knowing the holiday season is jsut around the corner.<br />Anyway, hope your mood lifts. Have a great time at your party!rxBambihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334316477460537688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-35020634992248062142009-10-30T17:38:40.261+01:002009-10-30T17:38:40.261+01:00when my kids were young i would take the afternoon...when my kids were young i would take the afternoon off work on hallowe'en to decorate and stage the yard. when they came home from school it would be done.margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275128850647625426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-74378689242922357512009-10-30T13:06:14.026+01:002009-10-30T13:06:14.026+01:00I can very much relate to your feelings about autu...I can very much relate to your feelings about autumn. It was always my favorite season in America.

...Gorgeous pics - love the shape of the lone leaf!<br /><br />Good luck with the party - sounds like a zoo! I would be more stressed about the cooking than the costume!<br /><br />I'm in a country where there is no Halloween, so it's nice to read about it as something in me misses it!!!The pale observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597175124251218057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-4847537887083505762009-10-30T10:59:51.840+01:002009-10-30T10:59:51.840+01:00Firstly these pictures are beautiful and perfectly...Firstly these pictures are beautiful and perfectly portrait the melancholic mood of Autumn.<br />As much as I love the months between September and Christmas, I do hate the rest of the winter as you do. I can't stand the darkness at 3pm and the wetness; since here in Uk that's all we get (the occasional snow, every couple of years only). <br />So, I do relate to this anxiety.<br />I was really looking forward to Halloween this year, we had a party organised, costumes, etc but Maia fell ill yesterday, doctor saying is swine flu, so we had to cancel the festivities; we are all gutted, specially the poor kids. At least we can watch some scary DVDs.<br />I do hope your party is a huge success and I'm looking forward to seeing some pcitures and reading all about next week.<br />Chin up and enjoy the weekend.Juhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10991372893900062135noreply@blogger.com
