Frightfully Fun

By -
I love all things Halloween as long as they aren't too creepy.   So that leaves out all the gore and such.  

 Ten things I love about Halloween :  

 *Baby Ruths 
(the only time of year I indulge in them)

 *Pumpkins and more pumpkins

 *Young Frankenstein

 *It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

 *Campfires

 *Watching the Trick or Treaters in our neighborhood

 *The glorious colors in Chicago this time of year...I can't imagine Halloween without fall colors dancing on every tree limb

 *IT corresponds with wearing my hand knit wool socks again

 *Sloppy Joes or Chili

 *Candy corn with cashews mixed in......

 Knit talk resumes tomorrow!  
What do you love about Halloween?

Leaves crunching underfoot
An orange, full moon shining through the bare trees
Hayrides down country roads

Halloween is my favorite holiday, I love everything about it, and Mr 18 year old turns 19 on Halloween. I had a Halloween baby, believe me it explains a lot about his personality.
Hugs,
Meredith

dark chocolate covered marshmallow pumpkins, pumpkin ravioli, frost, hot tea, for many years our kids went to the annual T or T parade in the center of town, dinner was always hotdogs and cider donuts---YUMMMMM. The feeling the day after, November 1st has always been a great day to me, the ushering in of winter and the holiday season, time to get in gear and get prepared!!

I am not a Halloween lover--or even liker! I'm really a Debbie Downer when it comes to the candy giving and costume ooing and ahhing. Forgive me!! But wait--cashews with candy corn? Maybe I've found something to like about Halloween after all!

Toasted pumpkin seeds with plenty of salt and the smell of a candle burning in a freshly carved Jack o'lantern. Sipping a Bloody Mary wearing my witch hat while handing out the little paper bags of candy I fuss over making. The Day of the Dead skull earrings I bought in Mexico. Caramel apples on a stick-but most of all the nutmeg laced doughnuts my mother made every year and the feeling that with the sunset, a window opens for those who have passed before us and they are close to us once again.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
