Everything is done outside except the Forest God and the Graveyard Spirits, and the Candles which I usually do the second week of October. Also, of course, the mermaid who may not be finished in time at this point. ...

Something I needed to finish her seems to have been lost in transit and now I am trying to decide if I can make do without it somehow. I have to make that decision in the next few days if the post office comes back saying it is actually lost.
