manatee in James River

manatees and sturgeon

Just a short little blog today and a pic on the manatee in the James River. A long time ago, in the 80s the mayor of Hopewell placed a wreath in Appomatox River because someone thought they had seen one. A lot of people thought all of them were crazy but I kept in my memory of it because in the early 60s, someone found a whale that had beached itself along that same river. I hate it when people look at you like you have lost your mind. So now I have this picture of the manatee and also of the sturgeon that are coming up the river too this fall. I find it interesting and in a sweet way pleasing that they are here in my area.
So I am still working on the Halloween yard but dont like to put my creatures outside when it is going to rain. Please let there be no rain til after Halloween next week. I want a super haunted yard for me and my little grandson Perrin.
Hope you have a good day.

Graveyard at our home

getting ready

Whew havent wrote anything for awhile now. Been busy remodeling home inside and out. But have been enjoying reading Carolina Bikers blog for some time now on his visits to Richmond and around our area. I have been here for a long time now and am finding out things I didnt know about in my own backyard. But it is my favorite time of the year now and so have been getting ready for Halloween. Worked on the graveyard and still have to finish the pipe organ I have been trying to put together. My reaper should look cool sitting at the keyboard.
Got lots of new additions to the Haunt this year and my first mummy. We are having a party on the 30th and lots of friends coming. I will do a few readings that night along with some ghost stories from around the area. . stay tuned for more pics and stories
