Tis the Season- for Halloween!

Leaves are falling, temperatures are dropping, October has been cold and damp and the sun sinks below the valley wall earlier and earlier each day. So, it's creepy, spooky time at my house. Spotted this 3' doll in a neighbor's garbage can- just standing in the can, naked, waiting for the garbage truck to come and end her life. So, while walking the dog, I yanked her out by the hair and dragged this huge naked doll the half block home - feeling rather foolish the whole way. Took her inside and put her in a chair in the kitchen, thought about how I could fix her up a bit for Halloween. She was definitely uncooperative in the house- jumping out of the chair, making strange noises. So I didn't take too long fixing her up, quickly grabbed an old black shirt with a tear, dirtied her bright skin up a bit, gave her a scarf and got her back outside as fast as I could. She's tied to the bench now- clinging to her roses and watching the folks walking by on the sidewalk.
