Hmmm, okay then I'll defiantly try it once I get some good pocket change
I was just going to say that I just walked outside and I felt something hit my head. When I looked up I noticed that a bunch of leaves were falling off my poplar trees and theres a ton on the ground, brown and crunchy

Now weither that means fall is here or simply from the lack of rain starving the leaves (most likely) I was still happy to see it!

That's always great to see. Unfortunately all the leaves here are as green as ever, and I haven't notice much change. Hopefully this cool weather I've been having will get those leaves changing!

I don't know if you guys have a tops or wegmans but they both have Halloween candy out.
Wegmans also has the fall pillsbury cake mixes and frosting.
Tops has a cool display featuring a giant skull and a tombstone, and they have candy apple candy corn, it's actually pretty good.

I'v never heard of either of those places but it's good to see storings bringing out halloween products
I was in the local drug store and the lady who works there was dressed 100% for summer (eventhough it's only 16 degrees celsius out) was stacking a shelf of halloween candy and didn't look too impressed bringing out the fall stuff...but I was happier than ever!

Almost every major store I go into here now has all their Halloween stuff out. I love it! And yes, Starbucks Pumpkin spice Lattes are the best!

I was up in Great Yarmouth a week ago and their 99p store had Halloween decorations and cheesy masks. Only a few but there was a plastic gravestone I was tempted to buy, but I didn't.
No Halloween stuff as of yet back in the South East of England.

Haha yes Adrian...we live in igloos and ride polar bears to work
It's usually dips just below zero (32F) in winter here for only a few weeks, and in the summer it's over 30C (+86F)...trust me it doesn't get cold...except last year when we had over 4 feet of snow for over 3 months (we forgot what grass looked like haha) Now that was a pain lol

Oh okay I'm pretty close to that. I'm about an hour and 15 minute drive north, just out of Parksville
Today I noticed that Walmart has some fall items on sale in their flyer which means they most likely have some halloween stuff in...I'm so antsy to check it out!!!
