mini vampire day

Two mini vampires in kindergarten class. The kids these days have such dapper costumes. In one school yard I saw a tiny boy in a silk top hat and cape. I saw a delightful girl ghoul with a silvery costume just flying down the street with glee. I saw a woman with what I thought was a horrible pitted skin condition, but then I realize she'd drawn whiskers with an eyeliner in a not-so-successful attempt at a pirate's five o'clock shadow. The leaves are brilliant today and are flinging themselves to the ground with flamboyant style. Tomorrow is All Soul's at the Mountainview Cemetery so we are putting on the final touches to our shrine. It feels like a significant milestone.
