During this time of the year, there are flesh and bones everywhere, but many more bones than usual:
Here’s something I feel in my flesh and bones, on this October day: I miss my only child, Aaron, who is away at college in Edinburgh, Scotland. Three of those photos of bones, above, reminded me of this fuzzy, flesh-and-bones Halloween photo of long ago:
In my flesh and bones, I also miss my late mother (on the right).
What are you feeling in your flesh and bones, today?
As I continue to recover from open heart surgery, the bones in my rib cage feel like a too-large bird cage, especially when I’m trying to sleep. However, this flesh-and-bone blogger is SO grateful her bones and flesh are healing, every day.
Since my trusty and strong leg bones took me many other places besides Hillcrest Road in Belmont, Massachusetts, yesterday, I took several other flesh-and-bones photos besides the boney ones, above. I’d say it’s time to flesh out this post with those:
Which of those photos do you prefer, in your bones?
In my bones, I know that this is the video — created by my son Aaron more than seven Halloweens ago — that I want to share with my flesh-and-bones readers, today:
Flesh-and-bones thanks to my son Aaron, to everyone else who helped me create today’s post, and to you — of course! — for visiting, here and now.
Those first set of photos haha
I love that you have the first comment, Alex.
I need to take more walks with you! Great skeletons!

Make no bones about it, another great comment.
That video is the most asrtoundingly clever thing I have ever seen and made me laugh laugh- I just LOVED it!!!! Them theres a lot of bones around town- love you and the cat photo <3
LOVE your comment, Lisa.
Astoundingly that is!!
You are astoundingly great! <3
Those boney characters without flesh are very clever! Thanks for sharing Ann 😄
Thank YOU for sharing, Val.
Wow…that is more skeleton action than I’ve ever seen in one place. Very nice, Ann. And those Louie, Louie lyrics…hysterical…so many “wigs” ! ☺
VERY nice comment. <3
I had no idea there was a major skeleton meme going on this year! The CVS near us sells bony rat and dog skeletons, but what fun with all the costumes and staging!
What fun to se you here, Sunny!
I’m so glad your recovery is continuing to go well and that you have the aid of a skeleton crew.
I’m so glad you’re on my crew, Chris.
The creativity of the skeleton models are superb. I am still laughing what an excellent display. The cake pops looked yummy. Then again so did the chocolate Whoopie pie and I did spot a chocolate chip cookie next to the cake pops. Let’s face it, it all looked good to me.
Your son did take the prize for me, I am still laughing, it is brilliant!!!!
As for the area I live in (South Florida) which contains condos and no children that I know of. The only bones we will hear rattling are the bones of the elderly that reside in Deerfield Pines which is the name of our little complex.
I will spend Halloween day at my daughter’s home, it is only ten minutes away and I get to see tons of children running from house to house dressed in their regalia and collecting goodies galore. I will then bring these old bones rattling home. :o)
Thank you for a most pleasant bone-a-food walk, and the upbeat creative music.
Thank you for a MOST pleasant comment. <3 <3 <3
These old bones sure enjoyed this post.
I sure enjoy you, Emilie.
Thank you :o))))))))
You are welcome and thank YOU.
I remember Aaron’s misheard lyrics very fondly. Halloween must feel very different without your child around, particularly in a neighbourhood that seems to embrace it so fully. I hope Aaron is doing well in Edinburgh.
Aaron is doing GREAT.
Ann, this was such fun skeleton collection, I really enjoyed it. They are so creative. Grumpy likes Michael’s dish.
Hey, I’m skin and bones, whatsa matter?

As always, Maria, I really enjoyed your comments!
Lots of bones and not much flesh just saying, but what great looking bones indeed
How great that you took a look here today, Joanne!
Dem bones, dem bones! Never seen so many bones!
Shout out to Aaron for the entertainment. I’d prefer the confectionary pics in my bones. Being an election year those skeletons could be voters.

Shout out to you for this entertaining comment, Alan! <3
