octoberfest_flyerpic2Where did the month of September go? I’m sure it was August just a minute ago. It still feels like summer in Tucson but there is a hint of fall in the air. I know I’m reaching, okay? So what if it’s only cooler really, really late at night?

At this time of year I always get really homesick for the leaves to change color and the cool wind to whip through my hair. Autumn used to be my favorite season. I guess it still is, but there just isn’t much of one here….yet, <sigh.> Not to worry, I’ve devised a count down list of things I’m going to do in October to make sure that fall doesn’t come and go before I realize it:

10-Get out my fall/Halloween coffee mugs and start using them. One can never have too many coffee cups 😉

9-Pick apples at Apple Annie’s in Wilcox.

8-Bake apple pies.

7-Buy some mums and place them strategically around the patio and front porch (pretend they grew in that way.)

-6 Plant cosmos, snapdragons and pansies (plants get confused here and they think it’s spring.)

5-Get in the studio super early in the morning and open the doors while it’s still cool. Make some fun jewelry and don’t do any cleaning!

4-Put up Halloween decorations and hope the grandkids get to come see them.

3-Visit the Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures (I’ve never been and it will be all decked out in Halloween!)

2-Enjoy an authentic Oktoberfest at Many Hands courtyard (October 5, from 4-10 PM!)

And the #1 Fun thing I’m going to do this October……..

-1 Celebrate Halloween…party with my friends!
