It’s Saturday and we slept in til 8.

I wake to Jeb standing over me, staring quietly.

I’m out of coffee.  We go to the bakery, then walk to the post office after a morning rain squall.

A rainbow arches and Jeb walks through the gateway.  We’re chewing gum and he’s trying to learn the art of making a bubble.  He wants constant demonstrations and can’t help but cheat and use his fingers.

At home he’s got new seeds for his garden project.  And he’s thinking a second Halloween costume idea could be created this afternoon in time for tonight’s Haunted House party.  Hmmmm….

I’m thinking about the fact that I should wear some kind of costume to the event.  This is the second year that I’ve had the idea to be the woman in Klimt’s masterpiece, “The Kiss.” Yet, time is of the essence and I don’t think I have enough gold.

I promise myself to do “The Kiss” justice next year.
