Welcome to the Neighborhood

One of my favorite things about blog reading is the opportunity to see what life is like in your neighborhood.  Some of the places I read about I have visited, but most I have not.  Some are now on my list of "hope to visit someday" and others I'm sure I will never get to, but love to read about through your blogs.  Today I thought you might like a closer look at my little corner of the world. 

Would you like to join me on a walk through my neighborhood?  I thought we could leave through the back gate and use the walking trails today.

On a cool, crisp fall day the trail is the best place for a walk in my neighborhood.  It's fun to hear the leaves crunching underfoot as we take note of the foliage changing colors and watch the squirrels scamper up the trees and down the trees.  We'll see lots of pine cones on the ground as there are many, many pine trees in the woods along the trail.  It's such a nice day that we're bound to see a few of the neighbors out and about.  You're going to love them.  They're a great bunch of people :).

But, I must warn you that the trail gets a little spookier on Halloween.  I can assure you, however, that despite the appearance it really is a friendly neighborhood.

Well, okay ... the people are friendly, but the spiders are a bit on the big side.

I guess I should have told you that some of my neighbors are downright creepy. 

And, well, um, some of them do like to hang out in strange places.

Others are a bit ... how shall we say ... odd?

I hope my neighbors didn't scare you away.  They may look a bit questionable, but I assure you their bark is much worse than their bite.

From my neighborhood to yours we want to wish you a

Happy Halloween !!
