Teddy and his Halloween Mail (and candy) - Photograph

I took those photographs of the unexpected, fantastic Halloween mail art (and candy) that arrived in the mail for Teddy (and me) this past week, from CJ, who does beautiful calligraphy and artwork.

For those who remember Teddy, it will be no surprise that on one particular day, for no apparent reason, after hearing the sound of the mail truck, Teddy knocked me over, ran outside, and got the mail before I could. When he came back in, he threw all of the mail at me, except for one brown envelope, which he clutched in his paws as he scurried over to his cousin.

Later that day, Teddy deigned to allow me to photograph his letter. When I asked him how he knew it was arriving on this particular day, he said his cousin who works at the NSA told him. ;-) When I pointed out it was addressed to the both of us, he muttered something and walked away with the candy.

It was an unexpected, thoughtful, and wonderful surprise to receive this in the mail from CJ. She knows Halloween is one of our favorite Holidays. And it was a welcome positive in my life right now.

With Halloween fast approaching, I made a Samhain themed piece.

I also recently visited Sleepy Hollow, NY, and took photographs of Washington Irving's gravestone, the cemeteries, and inside the Old Dutch Church. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite stories, so it was a thrill to be able to visit the stomping grounds of the Headless Horseman!
