A Merry Hallowe'en!



I adore the artwork of Ellen Clapsaddle.  Her paintings of children remind me of my own when they were small.  She catches the essence of the mischief and beauty of childhood. 

Here two little girls are playing a familiar Halloween game, peeling an apple, then throwing the long peel over one's shoulder to see what letter of the alphabet it resembles when it lands.  The theory is that letter is the first initial of the guy or gal one might marry someday.  Haha

Have a great week.  Fall is here--but winter is not far behind.  Blessings and hope to you dear ones.

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.

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.

Kiss the Pumpkin, my dear; For pumpkin Pie is on the Menu -Postcard Friendship Friday #247


What a darling little girl.  Her hat and over sized apron are so cute.  I have a feeling she might just give that brave pumpkin face a hug and a kiss!  Perhaps that pumpkin will become a prince?  I would think kissing a pumpkin would be much more pleasant than kissing a frog!  (Actually, I know this from experience as a little girl) (don't ask) (grin)

This is indeed a Halloween card, but it brought back memories of what we did with all those lovely carved pumpkins.  When I was younger and more ambitious, the pumpkins were cut into pieces and cooked down for hours in a large pan until their consistency was perfect for pumpkin pies.  Those pumpkin pies were the very best, especially with whipped Cream.

Happy Postcard Friendship Friday, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hallowe'en Greetings -Postcard Friendship Friday #241


I have posted this wonderful postcard in days past--but I love it so much I'm posting it again.  This artist captured something quite remarkable in this painting.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

We are still in the midst of the chimney and fireplace replacement--in fact, as I write this, the repairmen have pulled into the driveway, so I'm making this short and sweet! (grin)

Have a lovely weekend and Happy Postcard  Friendship Friday!

A Merry Halloween -Postcard Friendship Friday #190


This lovely postcard has a rare feature!  Her arm moves!  How it survived through the years is anyone's guess--but it is wonderful she made it unscathed.

Happy Postcard Friendship Friday and have a wonderful weekend!
