Cat & Dog
Halloween was fun this year.
I dressed up as a cat.
Lily dressed as a dog.
Oh, sure, my costume looked more realistic than hers. But that’s because I spent more time on mine.
Frankly, Lily’s looked like she just threw it on and ran out the door. For some reason, hike days do that to her!
Halloween does that to me, too.
Thank goodness my husband has a playful spirit!
Himself & Cat
He came dressed as Himself.
He mumbled something about the Secret Word being “mouse.”
Who knew!
(For you youngsters who don’t understand the reference, call up Groucho Marx on U-tube; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXQwXZ0loLo&feature=related)
I was too busy watching the salmon spawn in Clear Creek.
Our friend Tim was too busy wishing he had dressed for the occasion.
So, he did.
We rubbed cheek to cheek, nose to nose, and Voila! Cat Tas-ro-phe appeared!
Now, I’m not saying anything went wrong. Everything went purr-fectly!
Our group hiked, laughed, inspired each other (thank you, Janice!), and bonded out there in those woods.
That’s what Mother Nature does to those who gather to appreciate Her good looks.
Besides, it doesn’t matter how we’re acting, what we’re saying, or what mask we’re wearing.
Mother Nature always reflects back to us who we truly are–even on Halloween!
MEOW!
Hope you stayed dry on your rounds to collect candy. Isn’t this “purrr-fectly” delightful weather? Lovin’ the rain. Happy (post) Halloween!
We made it back by the skin of our fangs!
welllll, as I was leaving Rite Aid about 4PM with my bag of Halloween treats….I was overtaken by the ‘spirit of Halloween’ posing as a feine for M&M chocoate covered peanuts. Before I knew it!….the feine took over my bodily functions and was ripping and tearing the individual wrapped packages and literally shoving them down my throat! I was internally frigtened beyond the abililty to react defensive. Allllll I could do was chew and swallow, swallow, swallow. Oh the days of September are gone…October too….but the caloric intake of M&M’s lingers…until snowshoe season! Happy Halloween, I think the feine still lingers behind the closed cabinet doors in the kitchen. DON”T LET IT OUT!
I might let it out! 🙂
Weeeellllll, sweet, I was what else but a female spider. Mother Nature gave birth to Hurricane Sandy, alright. Some changing, shifting and clearing no doubt needed. Make room for the opportunity to fill those spaces and changes with lots of love and light and creative movement!
You have been part of my new change, Hurricane Sandra! Yee–ha!
Gayle….I’ve been looking at a lot of Groucho Marx oldies lately because we saw the play, Animal Crackers in Ashland which “starred” the Marx brothers originally….it was excellent, and so we got enthused about watching some old Bet Your Life bits…..so fun!
Love your blogs so much! You’re truly amazing! fp
Hi Francie, You are too kind–but appreciated! I’ve never heard of the play, but would love to see it. Reminds me that Mike and I haven’t been to Ashland since I retired. What’s wrong with this picture!
