Welcome October & Autumn! You've arrived! ABC U Inside!

[Tina]

Too bad it's in the 90's here. Nevertheless, I shall surround myself with all things orange, red, brown, yellow...and purple. Bra, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Perhaps starting with a trip to the theater to see Lizzie. And then there's the Christie play come Oct. Hot weather be damned! (See if that's censored. lol)

What about you, PI's? How are you ringing in the autumn? Tell me more!

[Tina]

Carry on, PI's! Post your D or add to A B C and so on!

Whee, Fall!

Yippee, have all my Halloween candy and treat bags bought. Will decorate house maybe next week. How about you, PI's?

[Nicole]

I won’t buy candy until the day of because I don’t have any willpower, lol! Tardy on Halloween decorating. Planning to do Thursday - but autumn things have been out since last month. :-)

[Mark Pghfan]

I seldom get trick or treaters in my neighborhood--not a lot of children here. The most over the years is about six. So I guess six bags would suffice! (I usually pick some candy that I can include in baking cookies or a cake, in case they don't all get passed out.)

lol Nicole, I'm trying not to open any of the bags. Once I do, I'm doomed. As for decorating, it feels too early for me, only. I'll wait a few days.

Lucky you, Pghfan. I'd rather hide out for the trick or treat thing but I participate as a preventive measure. lol Little bags of M&M's could work. Open them up and toss in cookie dough.

Love your little Jack 'o' Lantern, Nicole. He's too cute!

[Tina]

X - Xavier (the pumpkin) greets you with his friends on our masthead. Tee, hee...go look. You PI's are known for your astute deduction skills. Wonder if you will find and follow this blue herring to where it leads. ;-)

[Tina]

Only Y and Z left, PI's. Com'on, you can do it!

[Nicole]

Y is for yellow leaves and yodeling trick-or-treaters! 🎃

[Tina]
