It is October which means I pull out my Fall/Halloween box and begin to decorate the house. We have some traditions in our home. One is putting up (or in the case of my children - putting up with) decorations that were made in school many years ago. As I hung our large pumpkin paintings this year, I was amazed to realize that they are over 10 years old! I can still remember when these were carried home - almost the size of the child who painted them. Those budding artists have grown very tall now and yet looking at the artwork can transport us all back in time a bit. Each can still identify which skeleton is theirs, can recite a poem they learned or remembered writing their Halloween hiaku. Each decoration is a little time capsule of wonderful memories. Sometimes I wonder if I enjoy the decorations - or the thoughts and images they remind me of more.
