We used to be really into getting pumpkins and carving them. It’s a thing you do with your kids for sure. But after a few days the pumpkins start to shrivel and get moldy … Uck.
Our children are long grown. Nowadays we do – candles in the windows. Yup – starting not after Thanksgiving, but mid-October. It’s just perfect. The days are getting shorter, and it is quite nice to pull up and see them lit.
Eventually the snow will draw attention in the landscape, but for now the sedum are showing their beautiful color during the day, and the candles show just a bit of warmth as the night begins.
