Autumn!

I love autumn. There is something about the dying days of summer that just suck the life out of me, but as soon as the air turns cooler, even the crisp dry grass doesn't phase me anymore! I'm out dancing in the rain - oh wait... that's monsoon season here. Which means water under my house. (I checked this morning and indeed, there was MUD!)

But I digress. What was I saying? Oh yes. Autumn. I love the changing of the seasons, ALL of them. I love every single one of them, winter included.  Fall has something special though... perhaps it's the colors?

Or perhaps it's the cool air? The nights get chilly and my air conditioner doesn't have to stay on all night. I can just open windows and already I'm having to close them around midnight or else we get too cold. So nice!

There is something else too, in that fall sabbats are my favorite! Mabon! And Samhain! Dia de los Muertos! I'm so excited!

I haven't quite decided what to be for Samhain this year. I'm tired of being a vampire. It's a great costume idea, but everyone's been seeing me in a vampire costume for 15 years. That's a LONG LONG TIME. O_O

So the ideas are: A witch? (hahaha, but good witch or bad witch and as yet I do not have a proper black hat)

A slave? (Master's suggestion, but it's a dead giveaway, no thanks! Small towns suck for that!)

Last but not least, I would like to try out a sugar skull face decoration, for Samhain, not Dia de los Muertos (I doubt very much I'd get away with it at work for long). Sugar skull face. Yup. Very cool and I like it! Check it out...

Yup. I love that. There are lots of sugar skull face decoration ideas too. Ahhhh Catalina...

However you look at it, the death of summer is not such a bad thing. The sabbats remind us of the wheel of life, the ever changing seasons, death being part of the cycle. So here is to the death of summer, the end of the year, Mabon, Samhain, Dia de los Muertos and the beginning of the cycle once again!
