Scenes from Fall

Autumn around here is in full force, in typical Northwest fashion: short, gray days, brief pockets of sunshine in the afternoon, and lots of rain and blustery wind.  By about February it can all get a little overwhelming (I wonder how many Seattleites go to Hawaii in January?) but right now we are savoring it and celebrating it.  We have our jack-o-lantern plant, 'mums, pumpkins, and leaf wreath on display outside.  Candy corn lights and other autumn and Halloween-themed displays decorate the inside.  We go all out.  My mom even put on Mr. Fred's Halloween collar (despite the fact that he hates this holiday!)
