A PROCLAMATION...

A Proclamation...

The time is drawing near

That one and all must fear

Like hands moving on a clock

TICK-TOCK - TICK-TOCK

Soon the door will open

And the Cottage Witch you'll see

With her little vampire sidekick

HEE-HEE - HEE-HEE

And when the night is over

Before you go to bed

Forget the ghosts and goblins

That are filling up your head.

This does not mean it's over

So do not shed a tear

The spirits and the spectors

Will return again next year.

HEAR-HEAR - HERE-HERE

I hope you all enjoyed the journey 

BeTWeeN the MoONliGht and the MaJiC 

and will look forward to 

what is to come.

My special thanks 

go to all the players

 behind the scenes...

...who helped make

 October possible.

 You are all

 boo-tiful

 and your inspirations are 

spook-tacular...

...I thank you all 

from the bottom of 

my witches heart.

Disclaimer: 

 I certify that no 

witches, ghouls, ghosts

 or any other spectors 

were hurt in the writing

 of these 

October posts.

I will say,

 however, 

that the Cottage Witch 

has pushed her creative endurance

 to a level 

that she may not 

come back from.

The test will be 

if she can grab 

enough tail wind and

 make it to Home Goods!

Hear that dear Captain,

"Grab my pointy hat and 

crank up the broom!!!"

In the meantime, 

it will be business as usual

 again next week 

and thank you all 

for making 

the journey

 with me.

...Judy...

It's almost harvest time.

HOW BITTY MORSEL FOUND A HOME...

While one day out meandering

I stopped into a shop

It was not 

a little shop of horrors

Just needful things and what-nots.

The shop was dark and dreary

It was very hard to see

That one special little treasure

That was waiting

Just for me.

She had a special purpose

She obviously dressed the part

She was made in a witch's image

Which played right into my heart.

So that is how perfection

Stands here, always and alone

Her name is Bitty Morsel

And she has found a home.

THE RAVEN (COTTAGE WITCH STYLE)...

I'd like to thank all of you

 for your concerns 

about our well-being and 

the wild fires here 

in Northern California. 

 Although 

there were about seven fires 

burning in 

different locations,

 all at the same time, 

we, in Nevada County,

 were much more fortunate 

than those in 

Santa Rosa and

 the surrounding areas.

  We are so 

thankful

 for that.

The fire 

that was the closest to our home 

(about two miles) 

started with a transformer blowing up

 due to very high winds. 

 It blackened a large portion 

of the field below 

and then demolished 

one house next to the field 

(pictured above).  

The winds then shifted and 

 saved the house next door 

which belonged to our 

next door neighbor's son.  

It then shifted back and

 burned another home close by...

...see the siding 

on the little green house

 where it came so close?

The transformer was 

right across the road 

from our fairgrounds, 

which was one of the 

main evacuation points. 

One loose spark and 

that could have all been taken away.

  The fairgrounds are nestled 

into groves of cedar and pine trees and,

with the heavy winds, 

could have easily been destroyed.

  Many thanks to the 

first responders 

for their hard and conscientious work.

  Now let us slip back in

BeTWeen the MooNlIght and the MaJic.

THE RAVEN

(COTTAGE WITCH STYLE)

In the very dark of night

Something large and black takes flight

While I lounge upon my bed

I hear a voice within my head

"What is that creature coming near,

Could it be something I should fear?"

I went to the window

Not much I could see

The dark of night was 

As thick as could be

But, yet, I heard this gentle rustling

The thought of wings beside me puzzling.

Into the darkness

I continued to stare

What was I hearing

Was there something there?

Was it only the wind

That has found me here?

 Or just a dream

So loud and so clear?

I opened the door

Moved as if in a trance

There sat the Raven

High up on a branch

He looked down on me

And uttered these words,

"I am not a Raven

I am but a crow"

And quoth the Raven:

 "My sincere apologies to Mr. Edgar Allen Poe."

THE RIGHT PLAN...

Tis the month of October

The beginning of fall

Breast Cancer Awareness month
(Show the girls some love, my pretties)

and

Halloween

With a little MOonLiGht and MaJic in between...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The Right Plan

The first thing she does

 When a witch wakes up

Is go for the coffee

And fill up her cup.

It's not until then

She is ready to fly

And a second cup makes her

Go higher than high.

And once she is up there

Way up in the sky

She will map out her plan

And then ask herself why?

Why spend her time

Riding a broom

When she just as easily

Could be hanging the moon.
