That has been my "theme" (if you will) for the past few weeks. I like how those words work together, they just sound good when spoken aloud. But more than that, I love the meaning.
October always brings a hint of mystic mindset and wide-eyed eerie watchfulness, particularly so when the moon is full and it's a little hazy outside at dusk. That's how its looks outside my window right now and when the sun fully sets, a full moon will rise and cast a pale glow, throwing shadows in places seen only out of the corner of the eye.
Only four days until our annual Cemetery Stroll and I can hardly wait. My sisters (mainly Shari and I - Mindy has already stated she's "NOT going! It will give me bad dreams!"...'nuff said) and our children stop at the local Starbucks to fuel up for a chilly, spine-tingling evening walking among the dead. Mostly, we just laugh and scare the you-know-what out of each other and take lots of photos. Some of those photos can be viewed on Shari's site. Note: the pic of Shari with her head chopped off and lying on a tombstone that has TAYLOR inscripted across it. These are memories in the making and definitely not something for the faint hearted (or loose bladder). The photos, I will definitely post!
In the meantime...enjoy your eerie autumn weekend. May you stay warm and happy (and a little bit on edge!)

Marti,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm brave enough to do a cemetery walk. If I were to do one considering I'm a bit superstitious and have an over active imagination I would definitely take a smudge stick and smudge every single person that went on the walk the moment we left the cemetery grounds. That's just in case any earth bound spirits decide to hitch a ride.
Absolutely smudge everything, Dyanne! It's amazing how much fun this is with family (not so scary as you'd think). Have a Happy Halloween!
