Everyone is talking about Halloween; parties and pumpkins and what goulish film character they’re going to imitate on the day. They’re buying costumes and makeup and planning October bonfires and pumpkin carving contests. All this anticipation is infectious but I can’t wait for the day after Halloween when I will construct my four foot tall sparkly silver Christmas tree. Snow season is just around the corner! 

The season of thick wool socks and fur lined boots is nearly upon us. Even the trees are excited for colder weather, releasing their leaves to drift from the sky like snow. Tiny white Fall blossoms recall the unique symmetry of each individual snowflake.
