Halloween, Halloween..

"Sixteen times I heard the sinister  laugh!

Skull Thursday!

For the rain today I have a simple, "Muahahahaha!

HALLOWEEN

c.1745, Scottish shortening of Allhallow-even "Eve of All Saints, last night of the month of October" (1556 1/2), the last concluding night of the year in the antiquated Celtic calendar, where it was
Old Year's Night, a night for sorcerers.

Ten times Halloween

Observed by children in masks who desire treats, often threatening with minor frivolity.

Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath stell'd
Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
And perspective it is the painter's art. ~William Shakespear

On the wet window.

Creative fire has a distinctive measure

Casting light to find the eye inside the vest

But simple etchings are not for pleasure

Above the pattern there is a better way!

Hallow Fourth

The world of Halloween is a lovely and benighted place. The sky is orange, the tea is violet, and a new tragedy opens with every costume. Witches, ghouls, fiends, and mobs of rabid vampire-eating bunnies-- just when it seems like things can't get any spookier-they do. Some say that one's reward on october 31st is based on the spirit of the hallow throughout the year. If so, there may be hope yet.

~A.O.

Granted, I'll do anything for a good donut.

If you're holding out for universal popularity,

I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time.

October 1st

...Unknown spears,

Suddenly hurtle before my dream-awakened eyes,

And then the clash of fallen horsemen and the cries.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

Ha!

At the crystal moon, at the red branch

of the slow autumn at my window

~Pablo Neruda

Steel Pumpkin grin

Nor gates of steel so strong but Time decays?

Shine!

And he opened the coffins, and let them all free:

Thendown a green plain, leaping, laughing, they run,

And wash in a river, and shine in the sun.

~William Blake (1757-1827)

Your the one for me, Fatty!

You're the one for me, fatty
You're the one I really, really love
And I will stay
Promise you'll say
If I'm in your way!

~The Smiths

I know it's serious....

Halloween is near

Skeletons will be here

Witches, Bats, and creepy cats!

I know, it's serious!

Mister Pumpkin Von Spookulous!

"Eat more candy, I stand alone in the matter"

A cluster of fiends.

A spooky conflux coming on halloween night?

perhaps a crawly congregation of unearthly consideration.

Halloween gato!

A simple "Meow" will suffice..

Hallow=yikes!

The first movement of the autumn season is the day of the year when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward (Today). This day is known as the Autumnal Equinox.
