This is the time of year when anything can happen, when the air is magic. It is finally crisp and cool, and Halloween is just one week away, and Christmas two months off! My memories of this time of year are the best. My mother and I decorated our window, and I made many of the decorations. She made most of my costumes, including a fantastic Raggedy Ann like no other I've seen, and a witch with cats appliqued on her dress. One outfit came form Spain, a rare exception to our homemade tradition, and one was Laura Ingalls. Dad took a whole group of us trick or treating; once in a while there was a party, too. My Aunt Rose went out of her way to do little seasonal tea parties; and she excelled at Halloween, even to a great clown outfit she had. I loved the parade at school, and the Sunday School parties. I hope your memories are as good. Take out your Gurley candles, your witches, scarecrows, and corn dollies. Explore making dolls with gourds and cornhusks, and above all, enjoy!
