-L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
What a beautiful, polished sentence! Less eloquently, but just as fervently conveyed, whenever I think of October it is likely expressed as "I can't even."
So why write a post today? Because October is the start of my new year. The weather becomes intoxicating. The colors and smells richly captivate the senses. Pumpkin cookies, cinnamon sticks, candy, Canadian Thanksgiving, Halloween...I CAN'T EVEN. There is too much to love.
But why write today? Because the Halloween Fairy visited the Kong Lab in Duarte, CA. She spruced up the lab space with classic glitter pumpkins and a refilled pumpkin basket of candy.

| Keeping it classy. |
 |
| She would have been stripped of her title if this was left empty. |
But of course she didn't stop there. This fairy obviously has a bias in favor of witches (probably influenced by her reading the Throne of Glass series...in particular with certain characters in books three and four- Heir of Fire and Queen of Shadows).
 |
| I doubt I will ever meet a nicer witch than the person who sits at this desk. Her first name starts with an X! She's so cool. |
 |
| Perfection |
Since I am well acquainted with the Halloween Fairy (we share the same birthday). I can reveal that she struggled with how to bestow her charms on the Kong lab. Should the decor be scary with cobwebs, spiders, black rats, and hanging bats? Or should she be sensible and go with tacky (i.e. cheap)? The answer is evident from the pictures below.
 |
| Ever practical, the Halloween Fairy knew the Kong lab members are not scary, but rather quite inviting individuals. |
 |
| I take it back. This is perfection. |
 |
| Ha ha ha ha ha ha. |
 |
| We really need to get the windows cleaned. |
So why I am writing this post? Because I made the goal to write more entries than last year. Today marks the change to honor my goals and begin writing.
And finally, today was too beautiful of a day to remain silent.
