I’m sitting here and my mind is blank. Is it too early to think literary thoughts? Or maybe I need much more coffee?
Whatever it is, all I can think is that sure enough, it’s Halloween. Eerie is probably a good word for the day. And how much eerie, aerie, and airy sound alike but mean such different things.
Eerie

Airy afternoon at the marina
Oh, you mean I should post something about Halloween and it being eerie, even though it’s bright and sunny and delightfully warm?
Hope that’s eerie enough for’ya 🙂 Whatever it is you do today, make sure it’s very eerie, but keep the space airy near the aerie!

WHAT USED TO BE 
LET’S HAVE ANOTHER PIECE OF PIE 
SERENDIPITY - SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH 
No doubt about it, that first photo is eerie. And gorgeous.
And it is also eerie that although I posted my “eerie” post and did a pingback that brought me to the DP site, it never posted my blog on the page! We are on daylight savings time now and they seem to have posted the prompt earlier than usual so I even posted it two hours earlier than I ordinarily do! I just redid the pingback at a bit before midnight, and it finally appeared–unless I’m really going blind and it was there all along and I missed it twice. Now that is eerie!!! ( Like the time the prompt was “tardy” and they didn’t get it posted until late in the afternoon. Remember that?

I hate clock changes and this is one of many reasons why. I had a similar problem with WP when my system clocked got changed to the wrong time zone. I have no idea how it happened, but it drove me nuts for a week until i realized what the problem was. I did see your post on the grid, by the way … but in any case, i follow you via email, so I don’t depend on WordPress to find you 🙂

The barfing pumpkin is always a classic. I did save the guts from my pumpkin, though I intend to restock the carcass tomorrow morning and let my backyard critters enjoy their own trick or treating. Maybe I can get some pictures of my squirrels vomiting pumpkin innards….

That was my granddaughter’s 15th year pumpkin. Barfing is very IN with the teenage girl set.

Love your images. We don’t really celebrate Halloween here in New Zealand.

We don’t celebrate it here on our street, but everywhere else seems to be going crazy. I get weary of holidays when they are over-celebrated. For me, a little celebration goes a long way. They just go so over the top about absolutely everything, it’s a real turnoff for me.

Loved those pictures, especially the pumpkins and eerie graveyard.

Thanks. That was absolutely the BIGGEST pumpkin patch I’ve ever seen. There must have been thousands of pumpkins from tiny to huge. Amazing to see. And so very orange.

That was my granddaughter’s last best carving effort. It was pretty impressive 🙂

They were excellent. The pumpkin skin is very tough. It takes a very sharp and strong knife to do it.

They sell a special pumpkin carving toolkit in the grocery store. i’m pretty sure that’s what she used. It’s three pieces — something that looks like an apple corer, a scraper, and a small, pointy, reasonably sharp knife.

I had one of those kits and they ( at least the one I had) wasn’t all that great.

Luck of the draw. They aren’t good for more than one or two pumpkins, so if you have your own tools, you’re better off using them. It’s the scraper we really needed. The other stuff, we have better. But no one has a pumpkin scraper. It’s not something we keep in the cutlery drawer 🙂

Taking a walk over the cemetery is always a good method to get in an eery mood. It is very empty outside at the moment and because of tomorrow being All Souls Day, which is a local catholic holiday here. most places have closed for today, so it is all quiet and yes, just eerie, I wish we had a few pumpkins to brighten it all up.

I meant to buy a pumpkin, but I forgot and it seems rather pointless this late in the month. And the internet is very very quiet, too. Everyone is taking the day off I guess 🙂
