So many little towns in and around the New England area have older buildings that look creepy but have like, a gallery in them or a gift shop

Luckily, no. I usually just wear some spooky tee shirt. Maybe one day I’ll get creative 😄

Love an old, weird (probably haunted) building
Large, metal house-shaped box that has the words VAULT ALARM painted in white letters. Old bubble lamp to the left. It’s house on a brick building. I’m guessing during one of its lives, it was a bank. Side of an old brick building crawling with ivy that curves around the arched window frames. Ivy gives it an extra spooky flavor. Rusted rail with broken, mostly missing white wood fence posting attached. Cement stairs that lead down into an alley. Graffiti on some brick and siding walls. Cement stairs that lead down to a door that hasn’t opened in many years. Brambles, weeds, and Ivy have filled the abandoned space.

Stomped around in the woods. Bought some books. Had a beer
View from on top of a rock in Miller State Park, NH. Whispy clouds, blue sky. Colorful tree tops in the foreground. Mountain ranges (including the white mountains) in the background. Took me a hot second to convince myself to move off the rock. I’m not great with heights. Garden seating spot with a neatly trimmed hedgerow above a two layer rock wall. Naked tree to the left, colorful trees to the right. A bridge with more trees showing out in the background. Two stacks of books, one with a tiny pumpkin on top. They’re on my favorite table which is just a giant slab of granite. Toadstool Books in Peterborough, NH. 

Fair Ones, Lydia Miller

Pool House, Mary HK Choi

Two Persephone books:
House-Bound by Winnifred Peck

THE WORLD THAT WAS OURS by HILDA BERNSTEIN

SYLVIA BEACH and the LOST GENERATION by Noël Riley Fitch Tall, cold glass of American Pilsner from Post and Beam Brewing. Called, Paper Rings (supposed to taste like crackers and honey. Kinda, sorta did.) It’s placed on yet another slab of granite.

Warty pumpkin has a stellar stem. 11/10 full diva
Orange pumpkin with green bumps. It has a twisty dark stem. We’re talking Jim Henson creature creation levels of awesome. Close-up of the pumpkin stem. Stunning! It’s dark green and tan twisted together. It’s curving up as if you twisted it around your finger. Decorative gourd season in full effect!

Because I know how much you guys love carpeted toilet accessories. Photo from my collection, 1972.
Color photo of a medium haired dilute tortie cat that seems to have Persian blood because it’s face is quite flat. It is looking up at the camera with its permanently, surprised expression. It’s sitting on top of the pink carpeted lid of a cream colored toilet. The tank of the toilet has a matching pink carpeted cover.

Tossing my coins in for The Lighthouse or The Witch. I’ve seen / enjoyed both. The former is prob going to test your patience (it did mine) but it’s a good one. I haven’t seen Nosferatu yet but that’s next on my list

Library haul! Picked up a matching pair (purely coincidental)
Two books on a wooden side table and arm of a chair. Ghost Town by Tom Perotta. Orange cover with a blue car from the 70s, facing left, and with heavy exhaust coming from the pipes. The Left and the Lucky by Willy Vlautin. A pale olive green cover featuring a red muscle car driving off to the right toward an unknown destination. These two make quite an incidental pair.

A lil chipmunk popped up from under the leaves & was left wearing one as a hat. They picked up an acorn, jammed it into its already full cheeks then zoomed off. That’s some Disney stuff

Kinda got the feeling that Sylvie’s a little amped up
Gray Persian cat with slightly wild orange eyes sitting in the sun on the window sill. Pupils are tiny slits. Maybe she’s been chatting with the crows. She’s giving me a look of I know something you don’t know.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a crow’s face. It says, “I AM DEATH’S MESSENGER”.
In panel two, we see the same crow’s face. It continues, “YOUR TIME IS NEAR”.
In panel four, we see the crow awkwardly hopping away from a stick figure.
In panel five, we see the grim reaper with the crow perched on his hand. The grim reaper says, “So you should probably fly away dramatically instead.”

Also, the crows are back. When I went to put June (the juniper) on her stand, one made a raptor noise at me. I fed them peanuts last year and I think the north remembers

Heard a ruckus outside. Opened the door to a murder (of crows) in my driveway and on my roof. They yelled at me and moved down the street to give me the stink eye
Four or five crows. Some have taken flight, some are on the ground glaring at me. I think they were having a meeting and I interrupted. I can still hear them cawing out there. Talking shit about me, no doubt. Maybe I should throw them some apology peanuts.
