Halloween
Monsters troll
the ‘hood.
Winds howl, leaves crunch,
Hubby lurks on the porch,

watches sports
on a laptop.
I’m warm, inside.
ha! i am married to einstein as well! *real, not masked* he was giving out alllll of our candy but I think it was on purpose, so he could watch the sports on the inside tv!
love your pictures!

With an economy of words you created a wonderful 160, treat.
cheers,
