garden of magic...

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...

...but really i just looked like a triplet of belleville or winifred sanderson. oh well.

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...
