Fairies and Goblins


Tonight, upon your pillow,
Close your eyes and hide your head,
For the fairies and the goblins
Will be hovering 'round your head.

I love the imagery on this postcard and I'm getting excited about the change in weather, especially the rain, and the coming season of warmth and celebration! Annie been ready for Halloween for months, each day knowing exactly how many days until the big "H", and this year she has big plans for having maximum fun, fun, fun! After last year, when she really "got it" about the whole trick-or-treat concept (free candy!!) she's decided it really is her most favorite holiday.

We are thick in the middle of creating costumes, decorating the house and porch, and planning ghoulish treats and tricks for the days leading up to Halloween. I've cut out Annie's kitty costume (this will be the third year in a row as feline), and will put it together this week, plan a birthday celebration for my mother-in-law Jane, and hopefully be outside, smelling the earth and wind and remembering to just enjoy.

Do you remember Granma singing about the "worms crawling"? She loved Halloween as well.
