Halloween

Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees, "Tonight is Halloween!"-Dexter Kozen

This year we celebrated Halloween with "Luigi" The Chef

A "Grease Monkey" Mechanic

and a very over enthusiastic Pumpkin Dog!

Hope your Halloween was as SWEET as ours!

Spell Bound

I didn't get a chance to decorate over the top this year but did manage to get a few decorations up for the Spooky Season.

The old burl table and statue have been covered in webs and a few hidden sparkly spiders. There were cute little cups of goblin teeth (candy corn) and chocolate eyeballs until Miss Daisy our Basset Hound could not resist the temptation to eat them all to herself, while everyone else was at Soccer practice.

Yes, she ate them all...wrappers included!


My dress form is decked out in her wicked wear...Boots, Broom, and Hat included ;-)


More webs cover the vanity, the Spell goodies, and help camouflage some of the real cobwebs that I manage to miss ;-)

Prepping Pumpkins

It's that time of year... Thanksgiving is a week away and I have already started a few of my preparations and the menu planning. The little sugar pumpkins that we grew in our garden this year along with the pumpkins that were a gift from my friend at Four Seasons Farm have been successfully cooked and pureed down and conveniently measured and frozen in freezer bags happily waiting to be turned into scrumptious pies and pumpkin breads.


I am thinking about trying the Old Fashioned Pumpkin Pie recipe or the Pumpkin Chiffon Pie or the sinful looking Pumpkin Cheesecake all from Simply Recipes.I'll let you know what we decide and how it goes ;-)

Tricks & Treats

I love this time of year when the trees have lost their leaves and dance carelessly in the breeze, the sweet smell of warm pumpkin tickles your nose and the kids all dress up in their costumes.

We had a very fun filled Halloween...

Corbin decided to go as a mad scientist. Somehow this just fits his quirky personality :-)and Levi not wanting to be anything spooky, chose to go as a pirate.
