Fruits of the season

Does art really imitate life? In the case of this photograph, I hope that theory is true.

Not sure where this photo was shot, but some passerby made his or her own Halloween holiday addition to the alabaster figure.

Though the economic roller coaster everyone seems to be riding out has made recent times pretty tough, hopefully, as we near Halloween and then rush headlong into the end-of-the-year holiday season, everyone remembers the spirit of giving. And, frankly, enjoys life just a little bit.

Take it from this stone goddess: It really is better to give than receive.
