I'm trying out my new keyboard while writing this to you, so that arrived. Hooray!  (It has a very clickety-clack sound that I'm quite enjoying,)

Otherwise, Shawn and I are sitting in our living room wondering just how FEW trick-or-treaters we will get this year. It's VERY cold outside. So far (at 6pm-ish) we've had two sets (one mom and one child each) which is frankly more than I expected. It is literally one degree above the freezing point of water 33F/0.6 C.

Luckily, we always buy the kind of candy WE like, so even if we're stuck with a whole bag of it left over, it won't be a hardship. 

We did a decent amount of house decorating, though not nearly as much as we've done in the past. I will admit that I haven't been in the Halloween mood, which is weird for me because this is by far my favorite of all holidays. (Thanksgiving, which we turned into a Friendsgiving is a close second.) I'm not really sure what's been up with me. Possibly I'm a little affected by the change in seasons. I don't normally get depressed in the dark--in fact, I've been really enjoying the cold, dark rainy days we've been having; they've been great for snuggling in and writing--but perhaps it affected me subconsciously in a way I can't even fathom.

Perhaps later, when we're sure the last of the kids have come and gone, Shawn and I will do some kind of ritual for Samhain. Even if all we do is light a candle or two, it's nice to mark the turning of the wheel. 

Happy Halloween (and Blessed Samhain) to you all.
