"The Pumpkin"


Oh!-Fruit loved of boyhood!-The old days recalling,
When wood-grapes were purpling and brown nuts were falling!
When wild, ugly faces we carved in it's skin,
Glaring out through the dark with a candle within!
John Greenleaf Whittier, "The Pumpkin"1850

    good Halloween Sunday,

  3. It has been another rainy day here,

    Lydia. I did not even go outside.

    Chou-Chou went out and came back

    home all wet. I had to dry his fur

    and paws with a towel so he would

    not leave marks on the floor.

    Wishing you a good evening,

    Olivia

  5. Hello, dear Lydia,

    it is rainy here, but not really cold.

    I see that you have chosen a new

    background for your blog, too:

    the leaves- arabesques in golden

    beige tones look pretty.

    Wishing you a good start into this

    first week of November,

    Olivia
