WHY YES IT IS HALLOWEEN HERE IN THE HOOD
BUT THE BIG NEWS OF THE WEEK
IS THE 100 YEAR OLD ELM TREE
GETTING A TRIM
THE LITTLE MAN
CAME OVER
AND WE SPENT THE MORNING
WATCHING THE
TRIMMING
COMPLETE WITH A CERTIFIED TREE CLIMBER
WHO SOARED UP THROUGH
THE HEIGHTS WITH EASE
AND SEEMED TO HANG
IN MID AIR
WHILE BRANDISHING
A CHAIN SAW
I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED
WATCHING
AND OH YES---
THE TREE LOOKS GREAT TOO!
AFTER A LONG DROUGHT
IT RAINED HERE IN A BIG WAY!
I ONLY HAD TO SCRAPE
THE BACKYARD OFF THE DRIVEWAY
THREE TIMES IN THE DOWNPOURS
THE DRY STATE OF TEXAS
UNLIKE MY HOME STATE OF LOUISIANA
HAS NO BAYOUS
TO ACCEPT THESE
HUGE DOWNPOURS
AND THESE PEOPLE- FROM THE HOOD NEXT DOOR
ARE ALL READY FOR HALLOWEEN
MR. BONES IS ALL SET TO GREET THE
1500 (last year's count) TRICK OR TREATERS
WHO FLOW THROUGH THEIR HOOD
WE HAVE SPENT THE WEEK
TRYING ON DISGUISES AND COSTUMES
AND GETTING READY FOR MY OWN SET
OF TRICK OR TREATERS
THIS YEAR'S HALLOWEEN THEME
SEEMS TO BE SPIDERS
IT IS ENOUGH
TO GIVE THE STRONGEST
THE SCREAMING
ARACHNOPHOBIA!
(YES I ACTUALLY SAW IT)
MY SPECIAL HALLOWEEN
GIFT TO YOU
I WAS WARPED
GROWING UP WITH
BROTHERS AND COUSINS
HAVE A FUN FILLED HALLOWEEN
STILL
LIVING LIFE LARGE
HERE IN THE HOOD!
