Halloween.....

Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,

Voices whisper in the trees, 'Tonight is Halloween.'

Dexter Kozen

Halloween

'Tis now the very witching time of night, When churchyards yawn and Hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world.'

William Shakespeare

Season's Change

' Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the wind longs to play with your hair.' Kahlil Gibran

We went into the mountains yesterday to see the changing colors. We weren't disappointed. As you can see, it was glorious.

Usually when we go, the temperature isn't much different from home. But yesterday...by the time we got in the mountains, the temperature had dropped 23 degrees. Yikes. And of course we hadn't brought jackets. That would have been much too sensible.

Apparently, everyone else had the same idea. Blowing Rock was packed. I've never been there when there were so many people. We found out later App had a game going on, so between tourists and game goers the area was flooded with people.

We stopped long enough to hit our favorite ice cream and chocolate shop, which by the way everyone else had too:) then headed for Canyons restaurant then home. (You can tell food always plays a large roll in our plans can't you.) But wow what a view, huh?

Halloween Party

Join the fun and meet the CAB authors October 31st at Mistress Bella's Palace. I'll be hosting at 10. Hope to see you there. And for now...I'm going into the mountains to see the changing of the seasons. Enjoy your day.

A Pet's Ten Commandments

A Pet's Ten Commandments

1. I am likely to live for 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you is painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. Its crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me and don't lock me up for long. You have your work, family, friends and entertainment. I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand the words, I understand the voice speaking to me.

6.Be aware of however you treat me, I will never forget.

7.Before you strike me, be aware that I could hurt you and I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food. Or I've been in the sun too long or my heart is getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too will grow old.

10. On the ultimate journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
