Of Course I was a Squirrel for Halloween

As much as I love Halloween, I typically don't go all out for my costume each year. I might get a little more daring with my fashion choices and add a few fun accessories, but this year was different. I was scheduled to work on Halloween, and received an email saying that library employees were allowed to dress up in "tasteful costumes" and I decided to go for it. Since many people know about my obsession with squirrels, I thought it would be fun to take it to the next level.



And then I may have gotten a little carried away with my role as the squirrel girl...



Halloween may be over now, but the fall festivities are not. Tonight is the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival in downtown Tulsa. I'm debating whether I want to go out tonight or come home after work and curl up with the kitties and a book. The latter sounds very tempting, but looking through my photos from last year's festival is making it tough for me to decide!









While I enjoyed viewing all the shrines dedicated to beloved family members, this one really spoke to me because it's such a widespread issue. It's a shrine for those who have succumbed to addiction. So many brilliant people, yet none of them immune to their own excesses.





I am thoroughly enjoying the season right now. What is your favorite thing about fall?
