Light your fires and make a toast,
Welcome in the Samhain ghosts.
Give your thanks for the passing year,
As the darkness has drawn near.
We offer a blessing this Samhain night.
That your flames will be shining bright.
May you and your loved ones gather round,
And enjoy the season’s magickal delights.

Deadman’s Cemetery is shaded by a huge mesquite tree so this is the best I could do with my cell phone on a morning walk. The curbing around the yard makes for a good illusion of a cemetery. It seems many pirates have been buried there and have risen with the rest of the skeletons to celebrate Halloween.
The local city animal control staff has a reputation for being helpful while keeping stray animals off the streets and uniting owners when they can. This photo of the side of an animal control truck parked in front of Portland Animal Care Services seems to reflect that benevolent spirit.
