Maybe I am writing this as a cheap excuse to upload another picture of the Jack O'Lanterns on the house windows of this house I saw
recently. Well, not maybe, it certainly
is an excuse to upload more pictures. However, like I am sure many of my fellow Halloween aficionados, I am getting in a Halloween mood more and more. It is not autumn yet, but the air in the morning and evening is filled with a bit of a chill that is definitely not summery. It looks and feels more and more like the summer is ending. And it is, of course. But in the evening, there is something vaguely eerie about it. Soon, as soon as I finish reading
this novel, I will get started on
horror stories. I can barely wait. The Halloween mood starts in late August for me. I read
Dracula and
The Phantom of the Opera in the middle of summertime and they haunted me until the end of the next season and beyond, I played the
Dracula game on a hot September day...
Somehow, it is always now that I start thinking about Halloween.
Yeah, I can definitely sense it in the air.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting close. But the temps around here need to drop a few more degrees.
ReplyDeleteNow that I look at this photo again, the chair at the bottom of the shot almost looks like a torso. In which case, its head has been blown off and now rests on top of the bay window.
ReplyDelete@Mantan-I think it is in people's attitude. Maybe it is just confirmation bias from my part, or projection, I don't know.
ReplyDelete@HS-It has been hotter recently, like summer blasting its heat before going away.
@Debra-There is something ghostly about it.
