I made the Happy Fall sign into a little flag which I can remove when it is not fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Arizona, in the Phoenix area where I live, we have had a week of fall weather. Here, we can count on 90-100*F degree temps regularly until Halloween, but this year we got a respite from the heat a week early! It&#8217;s been in the 60s-70s! The kids claim they are freezing! \ud83d\ude42 (our tender little Arizona babies!) We even had several cloudy days. It has been so nice, and I have actually felt like getting out some fall decor and drinking hot tea-unthinkable during &#8220;extended summer.&#8221; I&#8217;m hoping it will stay cool enough through the weekend. We are not going trick or treating this year, but we will play some Halloween games (bobbing for apples etc.), have a fun themed dinner (I never have time for fun holiday themed dinners usually because I am busy  finishing costumes and carving pumpkins on Halloween) and make a fire to roast marshmallows. It will be different from the usual trick-or-treating but I&#8217;m looking forward to it. And then it is supposed to warm up again next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now after I&#8217;ve blathered on, here is what you&#8217;ve come for, your Trick or Treat letter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"874\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pumpkin-C.jpg?resize=640%2C874&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pumpkin-C.jpg?w=671&amp;ssl=1 671w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pumpkin-C.jpg?resize=220%2C300&amp;ssl=1 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s right, letter C!
