I think I'll dig out my Halloween stuff tomorrow and make some corn husk dolls.

Where do you get the husks? I've wanted to try making those.

from corn, duh he said it right there......sheesh......old people.............

My highly analytical mind needs more specifics.

Get back to your seat on the 'short bus' .

I get the corn husks from corn I buy at the grocery store. After you peal off the husks you can let them dry in the sun for a while (you can make them fresh but they can sometimes get moldy or the wrapping will be loose when it drys).

There are a couple of ways to tie them up, some are more complicated.

I'm getting a Blair Witch vibe...

Those stick kids she made were great.

Too bad she couldn't be bothered to hire an actual cinematographer.

I saw an orange fall-themed wreath hung on somebody's door this morning when I went running! It didn't make the 85° feel any cooler, though.

'cause most of the kids I meet these days (as opposed to 'back when I was a boy') belong on them.

What a pity. It rained here last night. Some photographic evidence for y'all.

How do you run with that kilt on? In 85 degree weather no less...wool and itchy come to mind...not pleasant.

I don't.

Stop! Right now, both of you.

I just ate lunch for god's sake.

It's no more than the good lord Jebus Crimbo blessed me with.

Or cursed.
