Sort of! If you have spots of bare soil, clear out any weeds then mulch that spot to give the grass a chance to grow in next spring weed free! You can even add a little grass seed. It will germinate over the winter season and surprise you come next April!
You know those self-stick plastic wall hangers? Place one upside down on the outside of your trash can and loop the tie on your trash bag around it. It will never "crash" into your trash can again! (This also works on smaller trash cans for using plastic shopping bags with handles!)
Rainy October days will bring out the garden slugs, so put out slug bait now. You can prevent a baby slug invasion of your garden in the spring! Check with your local home and garden store for advice on the best sort for your area.
I don't mean you must hang up skeletons and play "witchy" music. Bake a cake, ice some sugar cookies, and just celebrate the last day of October! Include googly eyes and fake spiders if you want, but the point is to find FUN in the day. Now's your chance. You can do this. Your kiddos will enjoy the memories!
Mindfulness. Stepping back and letting your thoughts settle. Quieting the turmoil inside. Call it meditation if you want, but closing your eyes to sort out what's going on around you can reduce chronic pain, lift depression, boost your immune system, improve your mood, and amp up productivity. No calming drugs needed. Live a better life, and do it one internal pause at a time!
