Halloween

Yes, it is that annual crazy event known as Halloween here in our community and elsewhere around the world.  As usual, the weather in our parts of the wood means:  cold and showery
At present, it is greyish and when I look at our lawn, all I see is:  golden.  Why, golden?  Because the wonderful trees have been shedding their golden leaves all over the property!  Poor dear husband has been out using his favourite toy, the JD, or otherwise known as the John Deere tractor, mowing the grass and leaf collecting.  He has been able to tackle half the yard now but with the truly dreary wet soggy lawn, it has not been easy to 'perfect' the lawn to a leafless existence.  He complains about doing the lawn but in reality, it is a relaxing time for him out there, where he can don his headphones and just 'veg' out there.  (and he is not listening to a certain Asian in the background talking about much of anything that her little brain thinks up!)

In my original blog (www.anthonymusings.blogspot.com) I included a photo of our two sons when they were still in elementary school.  One dressed up as a knight in shining armour and the younger son dressed up as Dracula!  In the ensuing years, they have dressed up in more terrifying costumes than those!

And here is an interesting specimen dressed up in a Dralion (Cirque du Soleil) mask:


On packing day (last day of the cruise) we hung it up outside our cabin door with a note, offering it to someone to take home, and we were lucky, yes, someone actually wanted it!  Glad to see it being used again.

Trivia question:  Who sang MONSTER MASH?  This was one of the 1950's Trivia song questions.  And of course, I have been youtubing it today and listening to the funny lyrics!

Do you have the answer?  The singer passed away a few years ago (2006)  but his name was

             Bobby "Boris" Pickett and his group The Crypt Kickers
