There's a Chill in the Air

The temperature is dropping here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. There's a definite chill in the air, promising mistletoe and holly right around the corner. I know, I know, it's not even Halloween yet.

At least ONE of this week's creations

is still in the Halloween spirit---

Little Miss Hootie Grey hasn't been giving the new snowmen too much trouble, but she has been a little TOO interested in my son's pet mouse.

Speaking of my son, I am very pleased that he has decided he has one more trick-or-treating year left in him. Well, truthfully, his friends made that decision for him. He has been going trick-or-treating with the same kids every year since we moved here. When he said he thought he might be getting too old for such things, they said, "C'mon man, it's tradition!". Far be it from him to buck tradition, so the let the costume making begin!
