Haunted Humpday!

I didn't know if I was going to be able to do Haunted Humpday this time because I have something going on already for the month of October. That was really stupid of me, because I can totally combine the two! 

So for this Haunted Humpday's meager offering, I am going to triple dip and post the two poems that I did for my poetry class and that are being put into the IEPG newsletter. 

Dance Samhain © Hannah Richardson 

Come to the dark forest

Follow the black cats

Hear the witches’ chorus

Put on pointed hats

Dance Samhain with vampire bats.

Samhain Night © Hannah Richardson

Skeletons dance, old bones a clattering

Air chilled night sets teeth a chattering

Merriment comes for Summer's work is over

Hearty feast and Soul Cakes shared with a lover

Ancestors honored at the thinning of the veil

Iridescent spirits from beyond do hail

Night leaves fall to the earth

Neatly crushed beneath our mirth

Immortal Gods of old are felt

Giving blessings to all who helped

Happy end to a long, drown out year

The coming year none will fear

Happy Haunted Humpday!

Happy Halloween/ Samhain!

I used to have this decoration when I was little. 

Happy Halloween/ Samhain to everyone! I hope that you all have a safe and fabulous night tonight. We aren't doing much this evening. Last year we had two trick or treaters so we aren't expecting anyone to show up at our door tonight. If we buy candy it'll just be for us.

I am going to make tater-tot casserole with some vegetables for dinner and for dessert I'm making a pumpkin cake. After dinner we are going to watch a few movies and a little more of Hemlock Grove on Netflix. Really it's just going to be an evening to relax before Nation Novel Writer's Month kicks off and that will happen at midnight. Oh maybe instead of candy we should get coffee creamer that way I can stay awake. LOL.
