We have special candy for Christmas, for Valentine's Day, for Easter, and for Halloween. But where, pray tell, is our Fourth of July candy? Our red, white, and blue candy canes, our chocolate Liberty Bells and Statues of Liberty?
Candy makers of the world, we're waiting for your answer.

Balance
Is it Tuesday already?
Fio's been far too busy, as usual. Husband is sickish and the new-shelves-in-the-den debacle has not yet been settled.
The good news is that Minnesota Son rewired all the electronics in the den and helped his father find a replacement recliner, that Fio's finally broken through the mid-story block that's had her writing and rewriting WHEN THE HEART SPEAKS for a month, that, at her request, Husband hid the remainder of the Halloween candy where she could never find it (she looked), and that the weather has turned, which means that Fio has to pull on a jacket when she goes outside to haul in fallen tree limbs, chainsaw cedar, lay flagstones, or walk up to the road to get the mail.
All in all, it balances out

We are both into Halloween big-time--and Halloween is into us, For about a week longer, I estimate. Then the dieting begins.

Echos of Easter
Fiorella raided the HEB Easter candy discount table for real live chocolate and came away with a Binky Bunny and four Russell Stovers. The latter, interestingly enough, were buried in the middle of the display, with only the backs of the packages visible--if one stooped down and squinted. You can't tell Fio some chocoholic employee wasn't planning to snatch up those rabbits at the end of the day,
