It's officially fall where we live. The high temperatures are in the 80s (we'll get cooler by the end of the month, but summer means 90s and 100s!) and the lows in the 50s, the pumpkin flavored coffees are out, the autumn-themed beers (for which DH is so grateful) are on the shelves, and I have dug my ratty pink fuzzy slippers out of storage. IT'S FALL!

I've seen a few people blog about the new season and I agree with them--with a season comes new inspiration! Smells, sights, sounds ... and feelings. There is a famous Halloween attraction near where we live--a haunted house--that I've never worked my nerve up enough to go see. However, as I listened to the radio the other morning, I heard one of their advertisements and was struck with--you guessed it--inspiration. It's time for Halloween!

Jalee and I have been working on our latest themed lots--mine is set to release on Oct 16, and Jalee's glam gothic mini Victorian (if you haven't heard, we have a series of 10x10 lots that we call our "Home Sweet Home" collection) should release soon after that--I know she's been working hard on it and will submit it soon.

I really do love ALL the seasons, but there is a new excitement when each one starts. For today, I shall celebrate in my awful slippers and a cozy sweatshirt with my pumpkin coffee.

Happy Simming...
