As I embark on my second cup of coffee early Monday morning, I faced a decision: take a walk or make a blog post. Sitting the couch ten-finger typing and continuing to sip coffee won.
Aaaahh, coffee!
This is the mug I am using. I was using it yesterday, too, and wanted to put it in the blog post. I find it appropriate for the time of year (aficionados know the Halloween season begins the day after Labor Day) and for a Monstrous Monday post.
Scary? Or just old?
This picture was in my Media Library near the picture of the mug. I use it to keep the post local, since I took the picture on one of my walks around the neighborhood. It is, perhaps, a little in advance of the current season, but I like it. It isn’t as scary as other rotting pumpkins I’ve seen; some of them mildew inside and the mouth becomes a rotting black hole. Nice!
I think she’s pretty!
For another local photo, here is my skeleton Bonita, wearing a pet mask I picked up at a rummage sale and holding black tulips a fell0w cast member gifted me after making them for a prop in a murder mystery. I never put her in her summer outfit this year; it was a kind of a bad summer, but that’s a long story, not very interesting. I have yet to dress her for Halloween (yes, she is naturally dressed for Halloween, but since she is a year-round skeleton, I like to give her a little something extra). In fact, she is sitting on a chair almost buried in some costumes I need to return to another fellow murder mystery actor.
Now I am over 250 words and have three pictures. Score! And my Monday blog post is done! Could this be the start of another streak? I can only hope! Once again, thank you for tuning in.
