A Spooky Celebration

Far off in a field, in central Illinois,
there lies a patch of pumpkins of the magical kind.



 No one knows where they come from;
they appear every October, yet no one ever plants a seed.

Rare in nature is the person who finds this field. 
It is said that only those with a touch of magick in their hearts can find this place. 
As you walks delicately through the vines,
you cannot help but feel a slight tremor upon nearing this particular pumpkin:


Stooping down to take a peek, you hear the faint humming of a song...

What could that be?

A party? A celebration?

A wedding!

The guests are arriving:



The bouquet is prepared:


Guests are seated:


The "best men" take their places:


 And now, the moment they've all been waiting for....


Let the celebration begin!

But first, a wedding blessing:

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the infinite peace to you.
~Gaelic Wedding Blessing
But just as the guests begin to mingle and toast...

A dark cloud floats above

A sharp wind whisks her veil...

A scarecrow runs by

And it all disappears.

You are left all alone.

In a field by yourself.



But sometimes at night,

when you lie in your bed,

you wonder what happened,

what dreams did they have?
As you drift off to sleep,

you can see it unfold.

The happiest of lives,

Where two

Became five.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite their renewed feel

Enjoy the little things...

The music filled my head as I drove my car along the winding river road on that dark and snowy night.  I had just left my grandpa's wake and was headed home... alone.....  My husband had the stomach flu, we had moved into our new house the day before my grandpa passed, and I was 5 1/2 months pregnant.  The baby boy inside me kicked along with the song, as I cried and listened to the words. Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above. I've always found comfort in songs... the words of the artists resonating with me through even my darkest times. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man is one of those songs that just happens to play on the radio at the precise moment that I need a remind

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?
