Our dance crew. Witches of all ages! I forgot my hat.
We practiced the broom dance last night. Great fun! We will perform it at open mic tomorrow night, and again Saturday night for the Monster Bash in town.
Today I will get started on making the treats for tomorrow evening.
Some October thoughts:
A Flower Fairy for October, by Cecily Mary Barker.
October is the month for painted leaves.... As fruits and leaves and the day itself acquire a bright tint just before they fall, so the year near its setting. October is its sunset sky; November the later twilight. ~Henry David Thoreau, "Autumnal Tints"
Oh, come to the woods, the merry green woods,
While gaily the autumn leaves fall.
Just look overhead, 'mid leaves brown and red,
The squirrels all chatter and call,
"October is here, the Queen of the Year,
Merry, merry, October!"
Oh, out in the woods, the merry green woods,
The fairies their revels will keep;
Then, when it is dark, comes the Frost Spirit—hark!
He is singing the flowers to sleep!
"October is here, the Queen of the Year,
Merry, merry October!"
~Author unknown, early 1900s
"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. It would be terrible if we just skipped from September to November, wouldn't it?..." ~Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942), Anne of Green Gables, 1908
