n Washington state, we moved our clocks back as we move toward winter. Now, the sun is setting about 5 p.m. The “fall back” doesn’t bother me as much as the “spring forward.” However, it’s jarring to be in the dark so early in the evening.
As Halloween approaches and it gets colder and colder, bloggers are bundling up, raking leaves, and getting ready to hand out candy. And they’re writing about family possessions, inspiration, Medicare Advantage plans, online dating, a historic battlefield, and a spooky dream.

It’s that time of year. The weather’s getting cold and the “chills” of Halloween are looming on the horizon. Bloggers are writing about health concerns, useless information on the internet, failure as a learning tool, and how we became a “Lord of the Flies” society.
Fall is well underway and I’m eating the last few items from my garden – cucumbers, lettuce I planted in August, and kale. Meanwhile, my blogger friends are writing about retirement, health, and responsibility.

It’s officially fall and time for leaves to turn golden and the weather to become brisk. Our bloggers writers are settling in and getting ready for pumpkins, spiced lattes, and apple cider. They’re thinking and doing a variety of things and writing about what’s on their minds.
Bloggers in our group are writing what keeps them steady – not only in this crazy world – but also during this, at times, challenging stage of life. Articles include thoughts on meditation, retirement, law and order, and relaxation.
