Hmmm, okay then I'll defiantly try it once I get some good pocket change :P

I was just going to say that I just walked outside and I felt something hit my head. When I looked up I noticed that a bunch of leaves were falling off my poplar trees and theres a ton on the ground, brown and crunchy :mrgreen: Now weither that means fall is here or simply from the lack of rain starving the leaves (most likely) I was still happy to see it! :)

That's always great to see. Unfortunately all the leaves here are as green as ever, and I haven't notice much change. Hopefully this cool weather I've been having will get those leaves changing!

I don't know if you guys have a tops or wegmans but they both have Halloween candy out.
Wegmans also has the fall pillsbury cake mixes and frosting.
Tops has a cool display featuring a giant skull and a tombstone, and they have candy apple candy corn, it's actually pretty good.
This probably seems crazy, crazy, a graveyard theory,
A ghost tried to approach me and got leery.
Ask him a question and he vanished in a second...

I'v never heard of either of those places but it's good to see storings bringing out halloween products :)

I was in the local drug store and the lady who works there was dressed 100% for summer (eventhough it's only 16 degrees celsius out) was stacking a shelf of halloween candy and didn't look too impressed bringing out the fall stuff...but I was happier than ever! :D

Almost every major store I go into here now has all their Halloween stuff out. I love it! And yes, Starbucks Pumpkin spice Lattes are the best!

I wish this town had a candy store :( one where they bake their own candy you know?
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

I was up in Great Yarmouth a week ago and their 99p store had Halloween decorations and cheesy masks. Only a few but there was a plastic gravestone I was tempted to buy, but I didn't.

No Halloween stuff as of yet back in the South East of England.

Haha yes Adrian...we live in igloos and ride polar bears to work :P

It's usually dips just below zero (32F) in winter here for only a few weeks, and in the summer it's over 30C (+86F)...trust me it doesn't get cold...except last year when we had over 4 feet of snow for over 3 months (we forgot what grass looked like haha) Now that was a pain lol

Oh okay I'm pretty close to that. I'm about an hour and 15 minute drive north, just out of Parksville :)

Today I noticed that Walmart has some fall items on sale in their flyer which means they most likely have some halloween stuff in...I'm so antsy to check it out!!! :D
