Halloween At The Cabin

My motto this year for

holiday decorating is...

"Less Is Best"

Frankly, I am too darn busy

to fuss with it.

Just a simple greeting.

(I dug out last year's front door

sign and stuck it on the wreath.)

For the Halloween Hags.

As the old timers would say....

 "Just a wee nip, cuz thar ain't

nuthin' more ornery than a bunch

a stewed-up old hill hags!"

(I was at the store, they had

these little pumpkins, I put one

in the cart and sat it on the

porch barrel.)

The latest model in

hag transportation.  All

trade-ins considered.

(Okay, this hangs here year round.)

"The web of our life is a mingled

yarn; good and ill together."

William Shakespeare

(This stays out all year too, I just jazzed

it up for Halloween.)

Jim Shore colorful folk art.

(From the box to my table, I

didn't even change the place mats.)

What do these little critters

find so interesting?

(Same here, box to table. I didn't

even bother to dust.)

"Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,

Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,

For a charm of terrible trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble,

Double, double toil and trouble,

Fire burn and cauldron bubble."

 William Shakespeare

The jack-o-lantern looks
at home on my Granddad's
whittlin' chair.

(Gee whiz, I will have to pack
this all away in a few days!)

 

We live WAY out in the boonies,

in the last 10 years we have not

had a single trick-or-treater. 

I'm prepared just in case! 

 ( I really do love this holiday,

but out here in the hills, it comes

and goes without much fanfare.)
