Love the 80s Halloween photo! I dressed up as a princess w/ a homemade crown once, too, probably around '79! That holiday has changed so much since we were kids. 

BTW, I used to be just like you re: horror movies, but about 5-6 years ago, I decided to dive in, and now I love the genre and can handle at least really good quality horror, as long as it's not gratuitous slashing.

Cardboard aluminum foil crowns are the best! I have good childhood memories of Halloween--my dad was a good sport taking us all around trick-or-treating.

I'm impressed at your resolve to dive into horror movies. I think the most I could tolerate would be a farcical zombie flick.

The gardens are a wreck. We got one field block prepped and planted out with garlic, but everything else is so so tragic. Every April I wonder why I didn’t do any November cleanup, because it tacks weeks on to spring chores, but have I learned yet? No I have not.

But you planted garlic, so that's awesome! I didn't get around to planting any fall crops this year. I blame garden burnout by November. Even though I'll be kicking myself in the spring. I like to repeat a mistake several times before I learn from it.
