It twas a dark and stormy night (literally) and my sweet daughter was acting a little strange, she was putting on a creepy dress and asking for her hair to be artfully arranged. As the evening wore on I noticed a startling change, her face had drained of blood and she was growing a pair of fangs. Her eyes were vacant and looked rather glassy, and when I asked her if she was all right and her reply was quite sassy! 
She said' "I am fine mother" and I replied, "I do not like your tone!" She them look at me rather wickedly and said, "You'd best leave me alone!"
Well I looked up to reprimand her and had to stifle a scream, because my little girl was no more and before me stood a vampire queen! 
Oh no! I yelled, "Please do not bite!" and she told me all would be well if I took her trick or treating tonight.
I agreed right away and off into the night did we go, to find witches, werewolves, and big giant gnomes.
There were a few scary moments but they quickly came and went,
And by the end of the night my little vampire was spent.
So it was straight to her coffin with a kiss to this little vampire's forehead, and a prayer to up above that she would wake up as Raine instead! I awoke with the sun and breathed a sigh of relief because the last nights events were simply beyond belief! 
I went downstairs to find my little girl all back to normal and watching TV, and our Halloween night a creepy memory...

A Replica of the store made from candy that resides on site greeted us this time when we visited and I found it to be fitting all considered...
We took a short walk through our trees yesterday to sort of soak in the late fall leaves and let go of some of the less than lovely energies that had carried over from the rest of our day.
Part of it is the season that almost begs those that are tuned in to walk away from the busy and begin the process of storing, gathering and settling in for the long winter and the other part of it is this deep feeling of self that says I am wasting my time with certain day to day things and ignoring my true path. 
I will be making some major changes in the coming year to both my physical person and how I spend my time and energies. I am going to try a few things that I always wanted to succeed at and make them work for me and hopefully by next time this year the way I make my living will be exactly that...By Truly Living.
There was lots of kitten snuggling on the couch while watching movies and getting some much needed cuddle and rest...
There were great bouts of laughter at that same kittens crazy antics...
There was even a little bit of kitchen witchery to be had by turning last week's hand picked apples into some yummy apple butter to take us through next year (I can hardly wait to make an apple butter smothered pork roast)...
There was an unexpected 
And last but not least an evening rainbow over our autumn fields to spark a last second desire to bake a fall treat for our lunches this week...
Sometimes life throws you stormy weather but I can't help but be pleased when a few rainbows are the end result...
