Nostalgia

Maybe it's the mounds of snow that have piled up outside.

Perhaps it's the freezing temps that ignited this nostalgic veil that covers me.

I guarantee it's a little bit of cabin fever (hope it doesn't turn out like the movie)

and a whole lot of daydreaming that has me thinking of Halloween and longing for the magic that surrounds the season.

I've mentioned it before, and it holds true that I feel so normal in October -

 with the delicious scents and the warm hues;

with the lure of superstitions and ghost stories;

with the variety and the onslaught of originality in both costume and decoration.

Halloween is my absolute favorite time of year.

Am I alone?

Anyone else out there missing it?

P to the S -

I would never wish away time.  This is merely an update:

254 days until Halloween!

Got your costume ideas ready?

Believe it or not, I do have mine, but the details have yet to be worked out.
