October was lovely. Here is our pumpkin Toofus, carved by Shonna. A few neighborhood kids came by, not more than about 5 groups, but we appreciated them. Most places we lived in SF never had any neighborhood kid trick-r-treaters. Ideally we'd like to live somewhere where people feel safe walking after dark, looking for candy in their own neighborhood rather than driving over to the wealthier parts of town.
I enjoyed raking leaves, listening to the World Series on the radio, "puttering" in the back yard like an old man. I can imagine doing the same thing many decades in the future, somewhere else, more slowly perhaps, but aware of the timeless nature of pumpkins, baseball, radio, leaves, fall.
