My son-in-law Matt has a great-looking Darth Vader mask. One year at Halloween, a friend asked if he could borrow it. Matt agreed, and on Halloween night, his friend came by to pick it up. Matt was surprised that his friend was dressed in his usual attire of jeans and a flannel shirt, with the addition of a black cowboy hat.
"Where's your costume?" Matt asked.
"This is it," his friend replied.
"Well, what are you supposed to be?" Matt inquired.
His friend answered, "Darth Brooks."
For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
