Autumn in New England = Many Surprises
It’s **supposed** to be fall right now, but it snowed today!! In October!! Two whole months before it’s supposed to!! I’m exclamation-ing a lot because, while I like snow, I don’t like the idea of a 7 month long winter. Nooooo!!!
My girlfriends and I didn’t let that deter us from enjoying some appropriately seasonal activities tonight, though. I made turkey chili and mini-cornbread muffins and brewed up some spiced apple cider and we all carved pumpkins. Here are some pics of the festivities.

It was Beth’s first time EVER carving a pumpkin! Glad I got to help her learn about the real fun of Halloween.

Here are our finished products, including Beth’s scary ghost face, Christy’s kitty cat, my “Boo!”, Candice’s little hillbilly pumpkin, Sheila’s ravenous vampire pumpkin, and Elise’s smiley face.

Snow? What snow? It’s fall in my apartment right now!
