D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

I forgot to mention the appearance weeks ago of the first Hallowe'en decor in a local front yard: swathes of fake cobwebbing on a glorious crop of sunflowers that are evidently meant to advertise someone's garden care service. I hope the seeds can still be got at. Now things like little dolls on front porch chairs are starting to appear, and the tarps have been laid for pumpkin patches at some of the El Camino shopping centers.
