I love the warm soft tones and the mists. My Dad and Mam used to make my brother and I little toys at Halloween. One year it was ghost hand puppets made out of a white sheet. Another year it was little wooden rabbits with a peg between their head and body to keep special notes in. I am still using my rabbit on my desk even now. It must have been so hard for you to lose you Dad when you were so young. I think when we are little our view of the world is from the unit of our family and when that changes it is traumatic. Have a lovely Halloween.

I don't think we always realize these things when we are children. I know I sure didn't. Well, we can't go back, so we have to try to be as creative as we can as adults with our chaotic adult lives. :)<br /><br />I was sad to hear about your daddy's passing. It made me think about my daddy's passing back in October 2006. It took me a LONG time to get over his passing. It still "haunts" me on occasion, but at least the pain is lessening over time, and that's a good thing. It's not good to be sad all the time. <br /><br />Your carved pumpkin is cute. :) I've never carved one before, and I am sure I would make a mess. I hope your pumpkin pie turns-out good too. I'm sure it will. <br /><br />Blessings to you! :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482562208496126954.post-67396267204410741842012-10-29T21:43:47.137+00:002012-10-29T21:43:47.137+00:00Hello Maria,

This is my favourite time of year and all I really want to do is walk in the woods and smell that earthy smell of rotting leaves and tangy pine needles. Unfortunately, I live in town now and time gets away from me so quickly that I don't ever seem to get back to my roots in the countryside. Come fall we used to help my dad haul logs up from the woods on a steep hill for our winter fires - smells of chain saw gas, earthy woods, leaves, woodsmoke (and a pot of baked brown beans!) - all bring it back. Thanks for sharing your memories.
