For the past several years, Halloween has been cold. Not cool. Not chilly. Downright cold. So this year, I decided that Joseph’s costume should be warm. He actually wants to be a ghost, which is classically easy. I got a length of white polarfleece fabric, and cut and stitched it into a kind of floaty poncho with a hood, with appropriately accented eye and mouth holes. It’s warm enough to serve as a lightweight blanket at need.
So what is the weather forecast for Halloween this year? High of 75. Even by the time the hour of trick-or-treat comes around, it will be way too warm for that fleece ghost costume. My crystal ball indicates that I shall be spending some quality time with an old cotton sheet tonight.
