HAPPY HALLOWEEN ..... BOOOOOO!!

In spite of it being Halloween, it's just another morning on the patio.  I never stay long since the cold weather chills my coffee too quickly.

There were no trick-or-treaters last night since the Trunk or Treat idea showed up.  Doesn't seem like much fun to me, just walking car to car in a parking lot and picking up candy.  Pretty soon you'll just deliver it to their door.  Too sad the kids are missing out on the real tradition.

HOWEVER ... the wedding participants arrived in style, wearing the most beautiful dresses you can imagine.  There was much tradition displayed, a real sight to see.  The music began about 6:00 and by 8:00 there was screaming and yelling to be heard around the neighborhood.  I just smiled!!!  Karma!  And to think it will continue for a whole week.  I'm lovin' it!

I did get a little scare when I pulled up this first video yesterday.  Look familiar?  Yeah, I sure thought so, but I was surprised.  

Then THIS!!  I've never EVER seen them together.  Over the first 3 hours of video, there were four different kitties who came to visit.  Oh yes ... I had 55 videos to wade through from one night of frolicking.  The kids were busy that night.  

The behavior of the fox surprised me.  Apparently kitties are not on their menu, which is a good thing.  Obviously the kitty wasn't the least bit afraid. 

This one just made me laugh out loud.  Oops ......... not paying attention!

There are many more with some crazy things you aren't going to believe, but I won't inundate you today.  I'll spread them out over a few days.  

I moved the dog box over to the farthest corral and fluffed up the old bedding.  We shall see if they find it acceptable.  

For Halloween, Cooper decided to dress up like a pirate, peg leg and all.  Pssst Cooper, wrong leg!!!  It's the OTHER leg!

Actually, he's still chewing that ant bite and I ran out of horse wrap, so I had to substitute some Halloween fabric.  I tried Benadryl like the Vet said, but getting it down his throat is a major problem that I have not yet conquered.

In other news, I didn't mention my friend Cyndae came to visit, bringing with her some Thai Tom Yum soup.  Lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and spices that we cooled down with coconut milk made for a tasty dinner, with enough left over for breakfast.  What a treat!

I also figured out I should have had the overhead fan on during that frying episode.  Today a pot of coffee is brewing on the stove.  So far I don't notice much difference, so I'll let it boil away.  I do love the smell of coffee!

My big box of butterfinger candy bars is waiting in the wings in case anyone shows up tonight.  If not, I'll have treats to last an entire year.  I suppose that's the best part of Halloween nowadays.

I've saved up all my errands to be run today, probably lasting all day long.  Hopefully I'll get my outside light fixture fixed, a new toilet seat installed, pieces of string for that cowboy quilt ... and on and on.  In the meantime ...........

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
