October's Glory

How fortunate we've been to experience such mild temps in central New Jersey. And I can't remember a more colorful and long-lasting display of spectacular foliage!

A favorite walking trail through Ken Lockwood Gorge.



The annual Haunted Mill was a huge success! Proceeds go to the upkeep of Clinton's Historical Red Mill



A few of my make-up handiwork...so much fun!




Enjoy your October glory and Happy Halloween!

More spooky fun from the 'Haunted Mill'. Hope you're all enjoying this fun Holiday! Did you survive mischief night? Be sure to make time to hang out with friends that always have your back when you need it most!
Hope you had a good night's rest
with no body bags in your dreamsand your limbs stayed intact! But most of all, hope you didn't wake up with your yard looking like this... Happy Halloween everybody!
Don't forget to 'fall back' on your clocks!

Best in Boos Today...

The historical Red Mill in Clinton becomes home for ghosts and ghouls every October. This year's theme is Asylum of Terror. In it's 19th season, this fundraiser is what keeps the Mill maintained and in operation for the publics' enjoyment year round.I'm just one of the many volunteers that help with set-painting, decorating, and my favorite, make-up, for the amazing actors who put together a first-class performance. The set gets built a few weeks before Opening Night.Then the painting fun begins. Funny how I always end up with jobs that require me climbing a ladder! All glow-in-the-dark paint being used here. The tour runs about 30 minutes but the line getting to the front can sometimes take 3-4 hours! An event not for the faint-hearted. We do WARN no kids under 6 and no preggers! The hayride through the cemetary, complete with black lights and Vincent Price, is pretty awesome! Oh, please meet my boyfriend...he's a great listener! And our very serious Director, Jen! Can you tell I hate this gig...not having any fun at all...none! Not so scary in the daylight... ...much better at night! Watch your step, please And beware of clowns lurking behind trees... A lovely couple, eh? They'll even babysit for free! This is Charlie...the maggots eating his flesh are made from plaster and oatmeal...yum!
Shhh...trade secrets! Perfect eerie sky for a night of spooking... But just to be safe...better say your prayers...Mua ha ha!
Last Friday night was great success. With Saturday, came torrential rain and lightning! We had to delay opening for an hour..which made the crowd very antsy...but, safety first! Hopefully, this Friday will be a record-breaking finale. If you're ever in the area, check us out! I'll even get you to the front of the line ;)
Hope y'all are getting into the Spirit of Halloween! Remember to stock up on your favorite candy! Another reason I love Halloween....leftovers!!
