Happy Halloween!
Its Halloween night at work … Saturday Night that is. Its also the last day in October … Daylight savings time ends tomorrow morning. We all get to sleep an extra hour. The rest of the day will be adjusting by itself from thereon … I recently got hired for a Weekend job so can’t go shopping on the weekend anymore …. I am working every Saturday and Sunday for another property organization and so far am happy here. This is my 3rd week thus far! I would want this to work out well for me, the people I work with are really nice and helpful. Otherwise I am still having my other job full time .. though hours have been cut for the low season. Just glad that I got this part-time job.
A few kids came for ‘Trick or Treat” . We’ve got lots of candies and other good sweet stuff for them. Pretty quite in the area though its just nice and cool outside … no wind today, just calm air. Do not want any spooky stuff somewhere out there on Halloween.
Sights of Autumn are pretty much here in Boise … beautiful golden leaves and lots have fallen on the ground which makes the lawn look really pretty! Have taken some pictures and will post some when I get home. There was light snow last Tuesday and was really nothing much sticking to the ground but nice to see a white rain in the come back. We’ll probably get those in abundance come December onwards!
Snow in the mountains
Was freezing over the weekend … next morning all the mountain top are all white and covered with snow…. pretty to look at! No pictures yet by me but will get to that pretty soon … will get a little bit warmer in the couple of days to come but summer is completely gone …. no more vacationing for me, at least for now. Its all work and looking forward to the holiday season thats just around the corner! Bogus Basin – a winter getaway, not far from where I live, got about 6 inches of snow lately … and perhaps preparing for all time winter events. Well at least something to look forward to.
Look at what I bought over the weekend on my days off …. love scented candles and these candles are more than perfect for the home when I can’t let my doors and windows open during the cold season when its too cold for me. I love to shop for these and bought 2 sets … they’re perfect as gifts too.
Mid-Autumn Delicacy
Mooncake Day falls in today but have eaten away some in the past two weeks. That’s our very ‘modern’ tradition! Below is just a pretty version of the traditional mooncake, looking cutie as it is. A box of mooncake with 2 salted eggs cost deliciously around $39.00. We’re supposed to eat the mooncake under the moon under the tradition but I do not think its wise enough for the Boise weather to allow this tonight. Brrr its cold and windy out there!
