MAY THE SPOOKS BE WITH YOU

 Below is the REAL petrified tree  Mom used in the above photo.
It 'lives' in front of the Anchorage Inn on Ocracoke Island, NC
When Mom first saw it, she thought it was fake. Evidently it has been
there furever.  If you look closely, you can see some carvings on it.

I entered Sammy's Halloween Costume Contest...I tried on several different costumes. Finally my true self 
Dancing queen Madi danced to her own tune...

Serene Sunday

 Drive by snap of Lead Mine Lake...I was a bit early for Mother Nature's Fall show.

I will go back


 This sweet little plant with lavender blooms 
hopped over into this area by our sidewalk.  The original plant was in a terra cotta pot
we don't know what it is... but we like it

Symmetry Saturday and K9 friend

Last Saturday (10/18) we had brunch/lunch at Bruegger's Bagels.
It was a bit breezy so we sat inside...while waiting for our lunch, I spotted this adorable Labradoodle and his Mom waiting for their lunch.
Lots of symmetry too.

Flashback with Madi Fall, 2014


Bits and pieces of my sweet, precious Madi.  I'd like to share them with you.
Madi teases a lot and talks big but deep down
she is all soft and mushy and makes us laugh daily.

Madi's ears are as soft as velvet and so warm...



 Once when I was a little girl my Aunt told me every freckle you have meant you had been kissed by angels...
I kiss Madi's nose every chance I get..and usually her
whiskers make me sneeze.
Her eyes are very expressive I love her sleepy/stinky eyes
 and her wide open big green cat eyes staring at me with 
kitty love....we often exchange I love you blinks 


Every so often I'm lucky enough to get a picture of her 
sand paper tongue...I just love how that feels 
on my hand.

To this day I don't know how she keeps her white tummy so white and so soft...there must be magic potions on that sandpaper tongue.


 Every morning she greets me with her tail flying high.  As she passes by me, she ALWAYS slows down so I can gently hold her tail as it passes through my hand.  Yet another way of saying good  morning beautiful...to each other




 Friendly Fill-Ins today. Ellen came up with the first two and Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.

1. My hometown is Raleigh, NC, only place I have ever lived.
2. October is a good time to enjoy all the fall beauty in  all 100 counties of NC.
3. If I saw the ghost of Casper, I would be so happy I'd squeal.
4. You couldn’t pay me to wear any evil monster or bloody creature costume, I don't like being scared.  I like a mystery but nothing violent
