mOONLIGHT aND mAGIC tIME...

One tall witch

With pointy head

Said: 

 "Time is of the essence

A great philosopher

Once said..."

One medium size witch

With steel wool hair

Said:

 "All the spells

Must be

True and fair..."

One tiny witch

With a sharp little chin

Said: 

 "I will gladly help,

You can

Count me in..."

The old crow in the center

Said:

 "I will do my part"

And he was quick to mention

"I have a great big heart..."

When you hear 

the clock strike midnight

They will all take to the air

Loaded down with tricks and treats

They have brought along to share...

...lollies for the children

and

houses for the birds...

...jack-o-lanterns

 shining brightly...

...and finally..

Soft and caring words.

PERFECT TIMING...

Around here

 it is

 all in the timing...

...come September

 it's all about 

the beginning of fall

 and the excitement

 that soon the weather will settle 

into those soft breezes 

and cooler nights...

...then,

 before you know it,

 the magic of October

 has taken hold

 and the fields are strewn with pumpkins

 and the carving tools come out...

...with November

 comes the harvest

 and the time to be thankful

 for our many

 blessings...

...and during December

 we take the time

 to reflect back over the year

 and plan ahead for the

 months that are to come

 and the promises of

 hopes and dreams

 fulfilled.

Time marches on

 and as it does, 

I hope we can all 

find our spot where 

the timing is perfect.

"It is astonishing

 how short a time it takes

 for very wonderful things

 to happen."

Frances Hodgson Burnett

KAI'S KORNER...

Kai had a sleep-over

 at his cousin, Rosie's, house.

  He is all tuckered out

 and tucked in.

...Judy...

Happy Week to you.

If you missed how I made the clock, you can go here.

A SIT-UATION...

"Draw your chair up...

and I'll tell you

 a story..."

F. Scott Fitzgerald

When we started the re-do 

in the sitting room 

I thought that the wicker chair,

 straight off the porch,

 would suffice

 until we found 'the' one...

...and the old rocker

 would work on

 the other side of the room...

...then we replaced

 the wicker chair

 with the little side chair 

from the kitchen 

and that worked for awhile...

...then the Captain

 found these two chairs 

in a consignment shop.

 I love the style

 and thought I would probably be able

 to change the upholstery myself

 and maybe paint the frames,

 not to mention,

 that they had an affordable

 price tag attached, 

so they took their place in line.

Now,

 here is the sit-uation! 

 Since the arrival of Kai

 and his occupation of the sofa,

 the two remaining chairs belong 

to the Captain and myself

 and these new ones,

 although how pretty they could become

 in my mind's eye,

 are not the most comfortable!

 So, here was the remedy.

We moved

 the two wing chairs 

from the parlor

 into the sitting room...

...and replaced them,

 in the parlor,

 with the new ones.

  The color is good with the carpet

 and until, and if,

 I decide to re-do them, 

they fit in pretty well 

with the other pieces for now.

All three of us

 now have a chair that,

 at the very least,

 is comfortable 

and when we finish a few other projects 

that are in the works,

 we will reward ourselves 

with two new chairs.

Kai will have to be satisfied with a nice bone 

which he will probably 'try' to eat on his sofa!

"I had three chairs in my house:

One for solitude,

Two for friendship,

Three for society."

Henry David Thoreau, "Walden"

I also have one other project in mind 

for this room

 and I am talking 

like a dutch-uncle over here

 to make it happen!

 It may take awhile.

 You might remember

 this little form of 

persuasion!
