Falling

Yeh, I know the equinox hit about a month ago, but yesterday the trees started dropping their leaves, so that, for me, is the official start of Fall. Just in time for Halloween. I've been doing a little decorating, much more conservatively than in previous years.


Only my most absolute favorite of the paper decorations for the big front window.


I made this thing and hanged it in the tree out front. Here's a closeup of the face and noose.




A years worth of arboreal neglect makes for the perfect cemetery plot.


We don't have a lot of spare storage space at the house, so I have some of the boglights and movie props stowed in the carport. Soon this space will be cleared out and haunted.


I caught this thing lounging in the living room the other evening. It was gone by the morning.


Oh boy, only a week to go!

  2. Gorgeous pictures and decorations. For me, the beginning of autumn is the first of September.

    1. Technically, the season starts for me sometime in July or August.

      But there is a special time, during the last two weeks of October, when the wind starts to blow; when the leaves start to fall.

      When I was a kid, there was always some disaster going on. We had the big earthquake one year, the fire in the Oakland hills that turns the sky orange another.

      It's like your post about the twilight time. There's something about the Falling time, that is haunting.
