October is Orange

 What is it about October that makes us all run out and buy pumpkins? The calendar turns and these guys pop up in people's yards like mushrooms after rain.
Maybe it's that there is somethings satisfyingly AUTUMN about the big round orangey-ness of them!

And little by little, the ghosties start cropping up.

I love it.  People really get enthusiastic about Halloween around here.  

I'll have to get out and collect more pictures this week.
