The ancient Celts thought that spirits and ghosts roamed the countryside on Halloween night. They began wearing masks and costumes to avoid being recognized as human.
DOG CONFESSIONS

GARDEN UPDATE
Decided to water every other day. Worked ok a couple of days ago, but today it looked kinda wilty so I gave in and watered. I am amazed at how some of my annuals are still hanging in there. I mean, second week of October? I still have alyssum, petunais, marigolds, a few snapdragons and two rudebeckias.
