A Merry Hallowe'en


Tonight all the children will be dressed in their costumes and full of merry laughter.  I look forward to their shenanigans.  "Trick, or Treat," they will say.  I will reply, "Do a trick, and I'll give you a treat!

It's Hallowe'en when little boys
Are frightened by the slightest noise,
And little girls run off to bed
And climb in quick, and hide their head.

Have a Merry Hallowe'en all you wonderful people!  Please stay safe out there, dear ones.

I Will Always Miss You



Just about now, three years ago, my Beloved Husband was being rushed to the hospital by ambulance.  Today is a difficult day.  Strange how life can change in an instant.  Strange.  Sometimes I still can't believe he is gone.

I am grateful to God for bringing Alan in to my life and for the wonderful adventure we had together...  I am so thankful for the lovely children he gave to me and for the love we shared.  I will always miss him.

You Ought to See the Other Fellow! -Postcard Friendship Friday #379



I loved the face of this little fellow so much, I had to post it.  The artist did an incredible job catching the plucky nature of this funny cat. I would like to find more of this artist's work. 

Have a great weekend and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Afraid of His Own Shadow -Postcard Friendship Friday #378



When I was a child, we lived on the edge of a vast forest.  The woods became our playground.  Especially one huge old fir tree next to our home.  We played under it so often the ground became as hard as a floor.  It was our outdoor playroom. 

When Halloween came around we would decorate underneath that tree.  We would sweep the "floor" and hang little hand-made ghosts in the tree branches.   We created scary exhibits of goblins and frightening creatures using whatever we had around the house.  It was all great fun...until the sun went down.

Then we were so scared, we wouldn't dare venture out to see our creations, even using candles.  We were, haha, afraid of our own shadows.

Have a great weekend and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

A Merry Halloween -Postcard Friendship Friday #377


I adore black cats.  It is sad people sometimes mistreat them this time of year.

When he was a boy, my Father enjoyed the company of a black cat he named Snow.  This became a tradition in our family.  When I was a girl, we had sweet friendship of our own little Snow--she was a gentle spirited, long-haired, black kitty with a tiny bit of white on her chest.

Our most recent furry friend Snowbunny is in heaven now.  She often thought of herself as Mom Number two to my children.  I still miss her.  Someday soon I hope to make the acquaintance of another wee black kitten, who, of course will be called "Snow." 

'Tis the time of harvest, and though the rains are well begun, the trees are turning yellow and red, and the harvest moon has come and gone.  Fall is here and Halloween is right around the corner.

Have a lovely weekend Friends.  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday.

Fall Winds -Postcard Friendship Friday #376


Hello, sweet Friends.  It has been a long two weeks.  I missed last week--but here is this week's Postcard Friendship Friday.  I hope you enjoy this bit of whimsy.  I love the windswept look of this flower faced maiden.

Fall is peeking from the shadows of the trees.  A chilly wind blows as I gather firewood out back.  The flowers are beginning to feel the cold and the morning sunshine scatters rainbows across the green, green grass.

Have a lovely weekend, and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday.
