Last night mom made it back to the dinner table. I'm so happy Hazel is back.

Lidia came by for a Trick or Treat surprise. Perfect for mom.

This morning treat was to find mom up and about and now I’m hoping for a full day of no new costumes. I have never experienced a Halloween like this one – I’m calling it The Halloween Season and I will welcome the sight of street clothes  tomorrow. To once again be surrounded by people without a disguise because reality is getting a little too vague for me to recognize. Costumes are fun but not recognizing people you love can be scary. Everywhere I look I see people colorfully trying to look like someone else. Meanwhile I’m trying to find the familiar sight of my mother. Crazy timing!

But on a brighter note for color –  I am loving the explosion of colorful trees everywhere in the fall foliage. This is the first time I’ve been in Kansas in October. I’m seeing colors I have never seen before and I know it helps me keep the big picture in mind.
