Other things

Yes, we helped unload the pumpkins this year... but we have not prepared for the holiday, even though we love to see the children dressed up, and carve pumpkins. The Mr. Mustard costume has not seen the light of day.   This is one of those years when other things have gotten in the way.  They are beginning to settle down.  Maybe it will look normal soon.  Maybe.

It is cold and wet and windy.
Usually we have our pumpkins
By now.
Usually we have thought of what we will wear,
Unearthed the Mr. Mustard costume
Jeff is proud of.
This year we have been distracted
With other things.
Still
The church lawn is full
Of pumpkins.
Mr. Mustard is somewhere
In the house.
Halloween is a few days away.
Soon the time change will give us more light
In the morning.
Soon
Other things
Will be not so other,
But part of the normal routine.
We will be able to think again
About pumpkins
And Mr. Mustard.
Maybe it will be in time
For Halloween.
