The Berry and I stumbled on the perfect Halloween trick/treat a couple days early when we found this pirate hiding in the grass while on an oceanfront hike. We were out for a romantic walk (with Murphy in tow) when Laurelyn noticed this face peeking out over the grass. Maybe he marks a buried treasure ….
Of course we named him Peter, after Peter Easton, the famous privateer turned pirate who patrolled the shores off Newfoundland in the 1600s. I’m more interested in Gilbert Pike, who worked for Easton and eventually settled in Harbour Grace, Mosquito and Carbonear. That’s because my grandmother was a Pike from Carbonear. Maybe I have pirate blood!
So if you’re little ones are dressing up as pirates, princesses, monsters or faries (the latter of which I know some ladies who most definitely believe they exist!), I hope you all have a safe night trick-or-treating. We’re hoping to get some kids over this way.
And finally, today is the last full day to vote for Jerry by the Sea for a Canadian Blog Award.

You don’t have to log-in or register or anything to vote – so it will only take you 1 minute to make my day!
