today i am grateful for...
celebrating a gloomy halloween morning at green-wood cemetery with chelsea rose cook and haylie bird waring. i can't think of any better way to jump start the day. haylie actually introduced this cemetery to me in the summer, and i had been waiting to go back ever since. i kept wishing we would see the ghost of a little girl. in savannah i always wanted a young child to haunt our creaky three-story house. alas, i never got my wish.
the light was eerie. thick grey clouds loomed above, threatening to open up on us. and the whole graveyard was awash in a hazy film. but every once in a while, the sun would pierce through the trees.
the girls came prepared with broken in lace-up leather boots, beat up leather backbacks, and crawly spider brooches.i did not get the memo and came in my lynn yaeger costume...
pretty girls make graves.
we saw plenty of bewitching headstones and tombs.
and a dead birdie. rest in peace mildred. you were a very good bird.
and i learned how to use the timer on my camera.
and we released my squash in the lily pond, and i made a halloween wish.
and as i left the woods, i realized i was being followed...
my wish came true. i've always wanted to be haunted by a little girl ghost. i guess it's true what they say...
be careful what you wish for...
