Dog forcing me to take a stupid walk for my stupid mental health. No peacock sightings so far.

I admit it’s a beautiful day here .

Ok this peacock was amusing at first, but now WTF am I supposed to do, seriously? It's still hanging out at our front and back door, staring into my soul, eating our plants.

Our most recent Halloween addition.

This paper pumpkin lantern was purchased from a flea market in Austin, TX. Unopened, with a date of 1976 on the package. You fan out the lantern until it fits over your lamp shade.

What does hubby have me watching? A rare rankin / bass Halloween movie with a groovy early 70s soundtrack titled “Mad Monster Party?”
