I watched too much news last week and it made me feel weary, so we shut off the TV and enjoyed the weather. I feel so much better. We searched for leaves turning colors and enjoyed a hayride with our favorite cowboy. Hmm...it seems he is wearing the same outfit this year...no, his hat was black last year.
Here he is doing manly work by helping unlock someone's car:
I brought out my new fancy Target Halloween socks:
So, turn off the TV this week and eat a handful of candy corn and all will be good. Or pretend you are stranded and a friendly cowboy helps you unlock your car...
Whoa, they did NOT have those cool socks at my Target!!

Cowboys are pretty thin on the ground in Melbourne (Australia). Bit of a shame, really.

That's great advice. I'm a bit leary of the tv and the newspaper after last week's lack-of-good news. I'm turning it off and eating copious amounts of candy corn. That's bound to make me feel better!

Looks like you guys had some fun this weekend. In Indiana we still have lots of farms but we definitely have the suburban sprawl too.....though not as bad there. My parents live across the street from a farm in the NW suburbs....and around the farm is a Walmart, Sams Club, some condo's. The family never sold their farm though I'm sure they could get a pretty penny.

um, where can i find me a good neighborhood cowboy? i think i'm in need....

No cowboys here (UK), what a shame!
I long since stopped watching the news and never buy a newspaper. I seem to manage more or less ok without the information and it's much less worrying.
Love the socks!

Wow... I normally don't eat much candy corn, but that picture is making me want a handful! :) Love the Target socks!
