Tye Dye and Zombie Blood

There is something so wonderful about October. The month always seems filled with excitement and wonder. Everyone is rushing to find a costume, people get excited to eat candy, and I love to drink the spicy chai lattes and pumpkin flavored items. October is such a peaceful and precious time of year. It always seems people are trying to capture the most of these last days before the cold and snow start to settle in. Some days in the Autumn we are blessed with 'Indian Summer' and it is so beautiful. Temperatures are often high and yet the leaves still fall with a fate they know they must fulfill. I'll admit that I as much as I try I'm not optimistic all the time. However there is something about watching leaves fall that remind me that like the leaves in Fall my problems and fears will eventually fade as well.

Today was a fun Sunday afternoon. My brother and I as kid were often like fire and ice. We never seemed to get along or agree. It has been nice as we've grown up being able to talk and do things with him. He came over today and I helped zombiefy him for Halloween. He is going to have a huge gash on him and the typical sunken eyes. We also went to spirit and bought some blood. I think he is going to look fantastic! Another fun thing from today is that for what I believe is the last time of the season I got to tye dye. I was reading online and I found some new techniques that I wanted to try out. I should be set and ready with enough tye dye for the winter.

This was just a brief update and hope those of you that have seasons are enjoying your Autumn one.
