THANK YOU !

LITTLE VISITORS!!!!!!!!!

Meet Houdini and Rocky.  These two adorable little guys have come to stay with us as Fosters until we can find them loving forever homes.  As you know I volunteer with RESCUE DOGS MATCH and periodically foster puppies (up to 9 at a time!)  Last week the Rescue got a call from a lovely woman who had to have surgery and did not feel she could properly care for thes 7 year old little bundles of joy.  I cannot imagine making that decision but it happens more than you may think.

Houdini and Rocky were just suppose to stop for a few days but they are so sweet and loving my husband and I could not see disturbing them again so they will be with us until we find them a really good home together. They are now sleeping with my husband in the spare bedroom on the bed so hopefully a loving couple come along sooner than later.  This happens every time we Foster , hubby get super attached, I do too but we have 3 big babies and 3 cats so I am not crazy.

We have a lot of dogs with the Rescue right now, some in Foster care but many waiting in the kennel.  There is no money left, not a penny!  We have some fundraisers coming up but word of mouth does help too.  So perhaps you could all pass the word on your blogs to help the Rescue.

BLESSED SAMHAIN....HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Halloween is here!  It is the night we step out of ourselves and in mask we can be whomever we wish.

 It is a night of Trick or Treating, carving pumpkins, spooky movies.  Black cats and witches (please don't forget if you have a black cat as a pet keep him in tonight, it may not be safe, some people are cruel).

It is truly the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.....for me.

Many of us celebrate Samhain tonight.  It is the eve of our most Sacred blessing.  The veil is thinned and our loved ones reach out from the other side to touch our lives for one precious night.  Alters are set, blessings are said, we are renewed for another year.

So tonight whether you dress for Trick or Treat or bring out the Bell, Book & Candle....Blessed Samhain & Happy Halloween!

COME ON OUTSIDE....DON'T BE SCARED!!!!!!!

It started out lovely today here in Jerseyville but it turned cold and rainy very quickly, so bundle up and let's go outside for the Halloween tour.

As you can see by the garden Autumn has definately left it's mark already here in Ontario.  Lots of pumpkins around.  I love white pumpkins, warty pumpkins and my favourite Cinderella pumpkin.  I guess I like all pumpkins.  I keep some not so real ones on the porch so I just have to plug them in.  My little witch has been with me for a very long time.

My tin witches hat came outside this season, not enough room with the new hats inside. The orange, black cat I made has really held up.  Love the Spooky signs another $1 store find.  That is my motto "If the shoe fits."

It has been very windy today but luckily nothing blew off of the front porch.  My pretty garland and light pumpkins look lovely on a moon lit night.  The witches hats are such a simple and cheap decorating idea.  For a mere $6 the hang and blow in the wind and just look so hauntingly beautiful.

My Ravens sit proudly atop my Witches Broom Inn sign warning off strangers.  I love this sign I could leave it up all year.

Well I don't know about you but I could use some Hot Chocolate (maybe a little Witches Brew too) so Come In & Sit A Spell.  Hope you enjoyed the tour.
