Happy Halloween!!!

D.W.Q.M.: Ian: "Where's your spirit of adventure, hm?" the First Doctor: "It died a slow and painful death when those bats came out of the rafters." Happy Halloween, everybody!!! I'm sorry I haven't updeated on a regular basis-not even my front porch. I've either been too busy, too sick, or just plain too lazy. ;) So, since I've been lazy, but still want to put my blog in the spirit of Halloween, I decided to post this picture of our pumpkins from 2003: Happy Halloween! (this was from last year's Halloween front porch. ) I'm excited-tonight I'm heading over to Foofy and Perseph's to help hand out candy. I'm heading over there early so I can help decorate their yard. I've got fresh batteries for my camera ( I am so sorry, Perseph! ) so I can take pictures of our Edward Gorey-themed pumpkins!! I'm sooo excited-it's always fun at the PF's!!! ;) (didn't you know? There house is the place to be on Halloween!)

No, those aren't thugs...

D.W.Q.M.: Captain Mike Yates: "Do you know -- yesterday I saw a fox in Piccadilly?" Sarah Jane Smith: "And nightingales in Berkeley Square?" The other night I was talking with my sister on the phone when she noticed Boo had left her bike out by the road again. She decided to go out and bring in up the garage herself. Since she was on her cordless, I went out with her-we were still chatting aimlessly as she walked towards the bike, but then she started to sound distracted, and said, 'hang on a sec', then began to mumble a bit, then all of the suddened, said, 'Uff! I just freaked myself out.' and sounded like she was tripping over something. She regained her composure as the garage door started to close, and then said to me, 'You know, I'm not worried about thugs in this neighborhood. I'm worried about bears.' Me: "Bears?!" Al: "Bears." Apparently not too long ago, a neighbor of hers, who lives just three houses dow

mid-afternoon humor...

D.W.Q.M.: the Third Doctor: "You're mad... paranoid!" the Master: "Who isn't? The only difference is that I'm just a little more honest than the rest." This post is dedicated to Perseph , cause I know she loves the Happy Bunny. ;) you are the cute but psycho happy bunny. You adorable, but a little out there. It's alright, you might not have it all, but there are worse which happy bunny are you? brought to you by Quizilla

October Night Sky

D.W.Q.M.: Duke Juliano: "There's this man in Florence claims that by arranging ground glasses in a certain order, it's possible to see the moon and stars as large as your hand." Marco: "Is that a good thing?" (from the Fourth Doctor story, the Masque of Mandragora.) The month isn't over yet. LOL. ;) Today's astronomy post is brought to you by Sky and Telescope , and my astronomy calendar. ;) The Moon and Planets October 7th: the crescent moon is below Venus, ver low in the southwest at dusk. October 16th: (starting October 16th) Mars will be closer to the Earth (and brighter in the sky) than it will be until 2018. Note: This should not be confused with the Mars Hoax . Mars will NOT be as big as the moon-this is just the closest it's going to be to Earth for a few years. :) [see October 29th] October 17th: Full Moon. Partial eclipse of the Moon peaks at 8:03am EDT-best seen west of a line from Toronto to Miami. October 18th: Moon near Mars after

D.W.Q.M.: "...how I love the autumn; the leaves, the colours..." -Romana 2 Hmm...hopefully the picture will eventually show up. ;) You Are a Silly Hat Cute, funny, and a little dorky. What Part of Fall Are You? Have I mentioned that this is the beginning of my favorite time of year? ;)

Yay, autumn!

D.W.Q.M.: Ian: "Where's your spirit of adventure, hm?" the First Doctor: "It died a slow and painful death when those bats came out of the rafters." I love this time of year. October marks the beginning of my favorite four months of the year. I love the colors of the leaves, the coolness in the air (which is missing at the moment. ;) ), the smell of burning wood, pumpkin spice. Ahhh... Halloween is coming!! Already I have a ton of ideas that I need to share with Perseph about decorating her house and yard for Halloween (some of which I have shared with her in a series of brief emails as they pop into my head. LOL) According to her neighbors, Perseph's is the place to be on Halloween. :) I can't forget my own place, too. I've been really slacking-6 years ago, I would have been ready for Halloween by now. I don't even have my Halloween boxes unpacked yet! I do have my wreath up, and I finished putting in all the window lights. When I was testing

Well, um, yah, updates

Well, I haven't been posting the last couple of weeks because I just haven't been up to it (for reasons I won't delve into right now) But go figure, the day I decide to post, dreamingheart seems to be down. LOL. ;) I'll just save this and the next post and try to publish when it's back up. :-D I need to update my sidebar...there's a couple of new blogs that I've been reading that are absolutely hysterical. Scary, but hysterical. ;) Both written by librarians-and here I thought life at our library was crazy!!! ;) Toodles!
