I grew up in PA and now live in SC. I love, love, love the fall here. Although the fall colors are not quite as brilliant, the coolness in the air isn't cold. No need for several layers under the Halloween costume here. No gloves, no threat of snow like in PA. Yes, I remember a few Halloweens with snow on the ground! <br /><br />Plus fall in SC is perfect weather for playing outside. I can run after the toddler without melting into a puddle of sweat like I do most of the summer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954179323097955442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14425061.post-9987641070777354292009-11-02T13:18:10.695-05:002009-11-02T13:18:10.695-05:00I love Fall too!

Here in Florida, we don't much get that. :) I made my daughter's costume this year - Spongebob - and she wore it over shorts. :)<br /><br />As a kid, my favorite costume (this was the '70s mind you) was a pair of harem pants and this fabulous silk scarf that turned me into a gypsy. They came straight from my grandmother's closet. :)Chelhttp://www.chelchasingcontentment.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14425061.post-72728858828921786932009-10-31T12:36:54.591-04:002009-10-31T12:36:54.591-04:00Fall is my FAV-O-RITE!!!

"You know Honey, I'm SURE I smelled fall riding (biking) to work this morning" which is doubtful here in Almost Mexico :) We were just saying today that this is 99% sure our last Halloween in the desert. No more costumes without layering for the cold likely for a while!<br /><br />Favorite costume? Well, I was SUPPOSED to be Princess Leia way back when, but the costume didn't get done, so I was a ghost. I think I was a ghost a lot...because my costumes often didn't get finished.stephanie j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18215284275413268005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14425061.post-55666946244885166562009-10-30T15:47:20.969-04:002009-10-30T15:47:20.969-04:00So jealous!

Actually, it's only supposed to be in the 70's Saturday.. brrr!! <br /><br />My FAVORITE costume was a homemade hot air balloon that my Mom made for me! A big hammock over a bunch of helium-filled balloons and a white piece of cardboard around my body.

As much as I loved growing up in CO and we'd have pretty weather most of the time, typically, at Halloween it was threatening to sleet or snow (case in point: our friend Mer). Also, because of said snow, the leaves would be long gone from the trees. Here, I bask in walking those pages with you. The colors are still spectacular, and it's nearly November. Truly a feast for the eyes. Matched only by the feast brought to us by Hershey and Mars Co. ;)Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576409086020993015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14425061.post-35356012667423395662009-10-30T09:37:08.753-04:002009-10-30T09:37:08.753-04:00The smell of fall is definitely the best.

I love pumpkins - carving, and things you can eat made from pumpkin. I LOVE football too!<br /><br />The only Halloween costume I can remember wearing was Casper the ghost. I still remember that plastic mask steaming up. I tripped many times because I couldn't see!<br /><br />I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who likes to take my kids trick or treating. They are so funny on their candy quest!

I love football and leaves and red noses from playing outside in the chill.<br /><br />I'm not so much of a Halloween girl, but I do remember dressing up as a gypsie almost every year when I was little. I'd get in my mama's clothes and jewelry and makeup. What good memories!! I love that we used to MAKE our costumes instead of the huge commercial store-bought push. Just made the holiday more special.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831708120022109063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14425061.post-10991242136711357802009-10-30T09:11:08.364-04:002009-10-30T09:11:08.364-04:00I love that fall is cool enough for a jacket, but ...I love that fall is cool enough for a jacket, but not so cool that you have to zip it up.<br /><br />I love the in-betweenness of it all.Carpool Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830399395582428542noreply@blogger.com
