We've actually already had snow here. If you look closely at Guy's coat in the picture below, you'll see tiny little snow flakes! It was a surprisingly cold day and you can tell by his expression he wasn't too pleased! Shortly after I took the photo he was at the door wanting in. Neither of us was ready for snow yet!
I found an autumnal poem about the moon and twinkling stars with witches having tea and current cakes. What else could you want of a friendly gathering!?
Dusk in Autumn
Sara Teasdale, 1884 - 1933
The moon is like a scimitar,
A little silver scimitar,
A-drifting down the sky.
And near beside it is a star,
A timid twinkling golden star,
That watches likes an eye.
And thro’ the nursery window-pane
The witches have a fire again,
Just like the ones we make,—
And now I know they’re having tea,
I wish they’d give a cup to me,
With witches’ currant cake.

The witches have a fire again,
Just like the ones we make,—
And now I know they’re having tea,
I wish they’d give a cup to me,
With witches’ currant cake.
My image below of Cranberry Scones is the best I could do to represent the witches' current cake from the poem. This photo took on a rather ghoulish look though, sometimes food photos don't turn out the way we want! I've posted the recipe before here's the link if you'd like it.

By the way, love your new banner!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment on the banner, I put a lot of digital editing into it, such as creating here dress and adding the witches hat and booties!
DeleteClever girl!!!
DeleteDouble, double, toil and trouble...may you also get to enjoy some of that candy! :)
DeleteGreat Halloween post! You know, I was just thinking about Guy Noir the other day and wondering how he was doing. I don't blame him for looking annoyed with the snowflakes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, heading over to your blog right now!
DeleteOh my, Guy is just a star...so handsome! We haven't had any trick or treat in years, but I always buy some candy just in case. Sweet post Diane!
ReplyDeletePam so nice to see you! Thanks for your kind words for Guy, he does think of himself as a star! lol
DeleteOh, I always enjoy seeing images of Guy Noir. What a beautiful cat. I have a soft spot for black cats.
ReplyDeleteHalloween is such an amazing holiday. So much fun!
