Happy Halloween
I blogged every day in October - Here's my Badge!
I live in a community of mostly seniors, but a family with two kids moved in right across the lawn. My front door faces their patio and living room window. They are the first kids to live near me in six years. What to do on Halloween?
For six Halloweens, and there has never been a knock on my door from trick-or-treaters. Sometimes I go to my son's house to see the grandkids in costume, but tonight I plan to stay home.
Katie is driving me crazy - she keeps putting her paw in my hand while I'm trying to type. She must be desperate to go for a walk. I'll be back....
We walked for quite a while, up and down different streets in the area. Here are some photos:
This orange tree, on my street, still has oranges at the top. You may have to click to see them.
These two old pine trees were just trimmed. They will look neat when more growth fills them in.
Beautiful day at the lake.
The Pyracanthia are all full of berries now. Really pretty.
"Okay, why aren't these ducks running from me?"
Blue skies, fluffy white clouds, little breeze, perfect day for a walk.
Every time I walk down this streeet I wonder how these two palms got so curved.
The dad from the new family was playing ball with his dog on the lawn, so Katie and I went out to visit. I asked where they were going to trick-or-treet. He said they were going over to Encinitas, about 3 towns over (it's where my son lives). I told him about my son's last neighborhood, which was super for trick-or-treating. Lots of kids, very well lit, everyone decorated their houses, really friendly. I sent him an e-mail with the address and mapquest map.
When Katie and I came back into the house, their dog, a big black lab, tried to follow, and BOY, was Katie NOT letting him into the house. Very territorial little Miss. She bared her teeth and growled like crazy, and he backed off.
Right after I came back into the house, my son called and invited me to go with them - guess where? The old neighborhood! I'm not sure if I'll go or not, but it's nice to be invited.
Hope the gouls and goblins are good to you tonight, and that you get lots of treats.
From Me and My Dog, Katie, Happy Halloween everyone! : )
