Life is like a small canvas.
Mistakes happen, colors mix,
and you can't take back what was already done
so throw as much paint on there as you can
and live your life to the fullest
because in the end there is no starting from scratch,
you just have to work with what you got
and hope for the best."

Eat, drink, and be scary
To venture on my porch tonight
Might want to hold your mummy tight
Lit with jack-o-lantern heads
And zombies that we haven't fed
The bushes sing with raven calls
Behind the webs the spiders crawl
The lab that's in the basement lit
Where Dracula and Wolf man sit
With Frankenstein just playing cards
While mother hangs out in the yard
Now candies dandy, but a tricks a treat
Oh I love the sound of running feet

Family Friend Poems
"I am rich today with autumn's gold,
All that my covetous hands can hold;
Frost-painted leaves and goldenrod,
A goldfinch on a milkweed pod,
Huge golden pumpkins in the field
With heaps of corn from a bounteous yield,
Golden apples heavy on the trees
Rivaling those of Hesperides,
Golden rays of balmy sunshine spread
Over all like butter on warm bread;
And the harvest moon will this night unfold
The streams running full of molten gold.
Oh, who could find a dearth of bliss
With autumn glory such as this?"
~Gladys Harp, Autumn Glory
Do you know why the colours orange and black are symbolic for Halloween?
Orange symbolizes fall's harvest
Black is the colour because of winter's coming darkness

Eat, drink, and be scary
The Ghost with the Most
One ghostly ghoul, one green eyed goblin
The headstones say; You got a problemTo venture on my porch tonight
Might want to hold your mummy tight

The Elsa Pumpkin
the Movie Frozen is so special to me
I watched it with my Grandson this summer
and we sang Let It Go
Trick or treat
All that my covetous hands can hold;
Frost-painted leaves and goldenrod,
A goldfinch on a milkweed pod,
Huge golden pumpkins in the field
With heaps of corn from a bounteous yield,
Golden apples heavy on the trees
Rivaling those of Hesperides,
Golden rays of balmy sunshine spread
Over all like butter on warm bread;
And the harvest moon will this night unfold
The streams running full of molten gold.
Oh, who could find a dearth of bliss
With autumn glory such as this?"
