| A spooky walk in the cemetery |
Although it's not technically still Halloween this morning, my Saturday morning walking group went for a very foggy walk in the cemetery, which was perfect to continue an atmosphere of spooks and goblins. The hardest part of the walk was getting there in the dense fog, although around twenty of us showed up and really enjoyed the cool weather and lack of rain.

| My great niece Lexie |
My niece Allison sent me this wonderful picture of Lexie, Norma Jean's granddaughter, in her fancy Halloween costume yesterday. She's growing up so fast and although I might be a little prejudiced, she is just adorable, isn't she?

| Spooky barista |
I think that the barista, Carrie from the coffee shop I frequent, had the best costume I saw all day. Little Leo was there, too (not in costume yet), and he was afraid of her and wouldn't give her a hug, for some reason. He told me he would dress up as a rainbow later on in the day, and I'm sorry I didn't get to see his costume.

| Samurai and tennis pro |
Two of the ladies who work at the YMCA were in costume, too, and I had to capture their costumes. Although the picture isn't quite in focus, I did manage to show that they have a sense of humor. Love that samurai headdress.

| The cemetery this morning |
It's such a nice way to start the weekend, going for a brisk five-mile walk and having coffee together afterwards. I don't always stay for coffee, but I had to show off my new iPad Air 2 to the ladies, who were suitably impressed. Maybe Apple should give me a commission; I might have sold a few today.
:-)
i think they should give you some free apps, at least! :)
ReplyDeletelove lexie and the barista is great! cute Y ladies, too.
...next time you upgrade...ask for a FREE phone with all that you do for them.
ReplyDeleteLOVED the foggy, spooky morning walk. And cute sweet li'l witch. :-)
Gorgeous photos of the foggy morning, and I can't believe how quickly Lexie is growing up. Yes, she is definitely adorable. I like all the folks who dressed for the holiday, too!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of the cemetery! The costumes were great - and yes, Lexie IS adorable.
ReplyDeleteLexie is adorable and I love her name. If I could have picked my own, that would have been it.
ReplyDeleteThat barista scared me so I understand Leo's fear. That is one fierce looking face.
How neat to walk in a cemetery in the fog. Perfect.
I'd say the barista wins for sure. What a lot of work to go to for a costume. The foggy morning in the cemetery would definitely be spooky.
ReplyDeleteGreat costumes!
ReplyDeleteYour grand niece is so cute. She has grown a lot since her last photo.
Face painting amazes me so I like the barista. It's face art!
ReplyDeleteFrom ghoulies and ghosties
ReplyDeleteAnd long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver you!
Blessings and Bear hugs, too!
I'm with Little Leo -- that's one scary costume!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got some spam on that last comment there - be careful with those - they could have some nasty background aliens waiting to invade your computer.
ReplyDeleteNow, this is the best Halloween walk - to get to walk through a graveyard in the fog. Love it. Nice to see your Cafe and work out friends enjoying the Halloween fun. Love the photos, especially your great little witch.
I deleted that spam comment. I think some people are just plain angry and looking for ways to spoil other people's fun.
ReplyDeletethe fog always adds an element of spookiness...your little niece was cute...i would have dressed but we were not allowed to at the school...there is actually a state law that says we can not....
ReplyDeleteSpooky cemetery indeed....:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos in the fog.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does Lexie share some likeness with her great aunt DJan? :)
That cemetery looks very spooky! Glad the iPad is delighting you!
ReplyDeleteWhat an especially fun post! Lexie is just the cutest little thing. And the barista did such a fine job with her makeup. Too cute that Leo was a bit uneasy with her. The foggy trail through the cemetery was just perfect for the season. Your photos are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWe toured a local mansion that was doing a special cocktails and ghosts tour. Well, one of those things is my favorite. Can you guess which one? Hint, it's not ghosts!
ReplyDeleteLexie really is cute. And I love that picture of the foggy cemetary!
ReplyDeleteDear DJan, your greatniece is adorable. That witch's hat is wonderful. My problem with Halloween is pretty basic--I eat to much of the candy I buy to give to the children who knock on the door! Peace.
ReplyDeleteThe cemetery does look spooky with the fog. Good walk though and yes, a cute grandniece.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Lexie is absolutely adorable! Illinois had the coldest Halloween in 18 years. There were sleet and miserable wind gusts. But you know... it just couldn't dampen my little KC's Halloween spirits! She was dressed in the most beautiful Princess costume and looked like Elsa from Frozen. Totally appropriate for this year's Halloween.
ReplyDeleteYour niece is just the cutest. She looks like she has a darling personality, too.
ReplyDeleteLexie looks great! She is growing up!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a spooky hike alright:)
