My post yesterday seemed pretty naked without any pictures so I’d thought I’d make up for it today. I woke to a bright, almost-full moon outside my window and tried to snap some pictures. But I’ll save those for last.  First I’ll share my china cabinet decorated for fall.

I made ample use of decorative gourds and garlands of fake leaves. Since It’s Monday and everyone needs a laugh, here is a funny essay about fall decorations that I saw posted a few times on  Twitter. If you’re offended by the liberal use of profanity, and references to prostitutes and illegal drugs you might want to give it a pass.

Next is a Halloween decoration provided by nature.

It’s a spider web in the olive tree in front of our house. My husband told me to leave it up for Halloween. Not that I was planning on touching it.

And last but not least, the full moon pictures I tried to take this morning.

I’m taking this picture pre-coffee so my early morning freak-out might be understandable. In this first picture, I thought the orange honeysuckle flowers were lights. I figured the flash was making the flowers look bright in my viewer but something still seemed off. Notice the blue light in the next three pictures.  The first one is in the orange honeysuckle and then its just above the horizon in the second one. In the last pic it’s in the trees.  The light was moving on its own, I’m telling you. Maybe it’s a weird reflection or something weird with my camera, but I’m not sure. This morning I’m thinking ghost light. I saw a horror movie last week on one of the cable networks. I wasn’t really watching it but it was on in the background. The guy in the movie was a photographer and a ghost kept getting in his picture. Of course, it was his dead lover haunting him. I wasn’t getting a haunting vibe from my blue light, more of a festive feel. Way more festive than I was feeling at 6 am.
