So here I sat, feeling too tired and out of it to even make a Tired Tuesday post. How pathetic is that? I went running, thinking I could make another Running Commentary post, even though I just did one on Sunday. It was a boring run. You don’t want to read it, and I don’t want to write it. I didn’t even feel like trolling Facebook for monster movie pictures. Then I looked up and saw this cheerful fellow smiling at me.
Who could be uncheered by the ghost of a Jack-o-Lantern?
He actually wasn’t sitting there when he smiled at me, but when I went to take a picture of him, it seemed too cluttered. After trying a couple of places, I put him on the stairs. Brown carpeting, white wall, it seemed neutral enough. Then I kept having the problem of him turning around. You see, it is a pick, and I didn’t push the pointy stick into, say, a flower pot or piece of styrofoam, but just placed it in a little bottle we had on our shelf (it once contained Q brand of gin. My nickname was “Q” in the army, so naturally I had to try the gin).
I recently purchased the decoration at Northstar Orchards in Westmoreland. I know, I should write a blog post about the visit. How remiss of me that I have not. I’ll try to get to it before the week is out. In the meantime, I thought I would round out this blog post with a couple more pictures. You see, Steve recently did some Halloween shopping himself. Yesterday, I came home to find this waiting for me on the couch.
Actually, after coffee, I pretty much am a morning person.
Isn’t he adorable? Yes, I like scary vampires too, like Christopher Lee or Bela Lugosi. But I think this one is a sweetie. As you see, I put it back on the couch to take the picture. I will need to take the cute vampire out of the cup and use it one morning soon. And here is the other decoration Steven bought.
I think he’s pretty awesome. Or is it a she?
I returned to the stairs for this shot. And now I have run out of what little steam I had, but I see I am approaching 400 words. I call that quite respectable for a Tired Tuesday. I’ll try to come up with a real post tomorrow and forgo Wuss-out Wednesday for once. As always, I hope you’ll stay tuned.
