Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns

~~~

I almost didn't carve my pumpkins...but I just can't give up my tradition that I have been following all these years. 

Here they sit on my kitchen counter- just for my own amusement- as there are no kids to be coming around...not even my grown-up grands... 

We have no Trick-or-Treaters come around out here in the country, so I didn't bother putting my pumpkins back outside. I'd rather enjoy them in here until I get to bed long past mid-night.

My husband is sleeping in front of the TV and will probably not even notice my  guys here- even if he does wander into this room before his bedtime!

Oh, well...this is for the kid that is still a part of Junie Rose!

:)

Happy Halloween!

This is my SS pic for this time!

Happy Halloween!

They're baaack!! (The Halloween Gang)

~~~

Although a little later than usual, they did make it back again this time, and they seem to be settled in for the next few days...

I had got the word out that I did not want them here on my main blog...that I wanted to use THIS blog more for music and flowers and the more gentle side of life... but here they are, nonetheless!!

Oh, well, perhaps I can persuade them to move over to my crafts/collectibles blog after  a short stay here...We'll see!

~~~

Just as I expected... Miss Pumpkin Head  turned up in witch's garb and is quite cozy with the other witches as these pics show. They even found her a cape and broom to use. I didn't actually see her fly in on the broom but I assume she must have!

Mr. Pumpkin Clown  seems ok with this - or maybe just resigned to it- since there's nothing he can do about it, after all! The kid, too, is all smiles! I didn't even know there was a kid involved - but there he is!

The pretty witch still seems in charge of the other old crones...who seem in awe of her beauty.  It's beyond me to understand why a beauty like this one would  choose to be a 'Halloween Witch.'

Who's to know what lies in the hearts of  witches or what forces drive them?

(not I, for sure)

~~

 I see the gourd witch, Wynona, is here also, with her group of little folk. This witch never hangs out with the other witches and seems to be in charge of this group of trolls.

They are more comical in appearance than scary, even in their Halloween costumes! Well-actually-some chose to wear only their birthday suits, I see!

Sadly, anything goes these days! :{

~~~

I see the front entrance  has some late arrivals, too, in addition to Freddy Kruger who was the first to show this year!

A couple of happy pumpkin guys are on the front shelf, bravely smiling, even in the presence of the notorious Freddy!

I suppose it's always a good thing to put on a happy face- even in a potentially dangerous situation.

The ones in the opposite corner from Freddy also seem to be bracing up to the intimidating,
Freddy Kruger!
 

(Just don't go to sleep, you guys!)
 

~~~

I see all the regulars have made it again.  Although I have grown accustomed to this bunch over the years and  am somewhat  accepting of them, I still find it a bit unnerving when they all start with their eerie sound effects- designed for the one purpose of  scaring the socks off old ladies and small children! There are no small kiddies in this house any more so I have to surmise it is me they are trying to scare!

   Maybe they just don't get it, though!

This is Junie Rose they are dealing with - one who has read scary tales all her life and thrives on scary movies. I have even read all of their own stories.....
SOOOO....give it your best shot-youse guys; I'm up for it!

  :)

~~~

Now, THAT'S scary!

(...and I didn't know they had a political bone in their bodies!)

Lots of cool  

shadows and reflections going on at our place this Halloween month!

My 3 cats are warming up to this visitor ~ the little stray I have named 'Goldie.'   Here are my cats sharing their dinner with her in the late  afternoon shadows of my back yard this week. I still have not gained her trust enough to touch her  :(  although I can get within 5-6 ft of her... and she likes sleeping in my porch each night. 

~~~


This Halloween visitor stands near my entrance doors. I liked his reflection in the mirror...seems a little less intimidating than  in a full size close up picture!

My poodle guard dog  sits on the opposite side by the windows next to the double entrance doors.  He (brave doggie) seems ok with Freddy-  He must know Freddy is only passing through!

I like the shadows and reflections around the poodle and fall leaves  next to him!

Happy Autumn!

This autumn~~~in the autumn of our lives...

~

This autumn day and this mid October week finds Charles and me immersed in a long string of doctor appointments...which is becoming the norm for us; well, more so for C. than me!

(That's a darn good thing too,  since I am the one without the additional health insurance...just medicare coverage!) 

Yesterday, though, I did have a visit to give a blood sample at my doctor's office - for a followup visit next week... (a cholesterol problem)  Today my appointment was with an audio specialist...(nothing new or unusual here!)

Charles also had to go to another office yesterday for another sample of blood  at his heart doctor. (a problem with thinning his blood to prevent clots)  Friday he has yet another appointment with a different doctor for a different- though related- problem. Early November he has more surgery for skin cancer on his face.

( Curable with the cutting out)

 Charles and I both went for flu shots yesterday, also!
(so at least that's one less worry)

So many appointments on our calendar that I'm finding it hard to work in all the things I need to do- and  should do....like eye exams and dental exams...

This is most definitely 'The Autumn' of our lives, I'd say!

Does all that sound gloomy?
Sorry!!

  :)

Here's  some good cheer for fall!

 

October's Party

George Cooper

"October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came-
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band."

(Fall leaves from NC)

  Cheers!

What could be better than ruby red fall leaves in North Carolina?

Well~ maybe a mix of red and yellow might be better!
