Happy Halloween!

This year, the scariest thing about Halloween has been the weather! We got about 5 or 6 inches of snow yesterday, breaking a record that was set in the 1800s. This morning as I write this post, it's a chilly 27 degrees. The kids are going to have to wear long underwear under their costumes to stay warm while trick or treating tonight.

I'm sharing 2 little poems and some pumpkin photos I took last year at the community garden. Wishing you all a safe and fun Halloween!

When witches go riding,
and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
'tis near Halloween.

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

Photo pairs: the experiment continues

(Please click on photos for a bigger view.)
I asked my good friend Silke at Metamorphosis to help me with this posting. I was inspired by Neville at Sainte Verde Digest to try pairing photos -- one of Silke's with one of mine. (Hers are on the left, and mine are on the right.) Pairing photos is harder than it looks! Neville makes it look so easy. He has an amazing eye. I don't know that I have his talent for design, but I had a ball doing this. In fact, it is kind of addictive, so you will probably be seeing lots more photo pairs.
