Lo and behold, we've now been in our fourth straight day of beautiful, glorious Autumn... cool, clear, crisp, sunny, and utterly invigorating. What a welcome change, after three long weeks of dreary, drizzly grey misery! I looked out my window and saw a brightly-colored skink taking advantage of the dramatic change in weather by sunning itself on a tree stump. I took this photo of it right through the screen, so it may look a bit pixilated.
Today, in spite of a splitting headache and lack of sleep, I finished up three of my "Witch Potion" bottles. These are part of the decor for our upcoming Halloween party, and just a small part of the overall decorations we are creating to transform our old farmhouse into a Samhain World of Wonder!
I saved a bunch of glass jars and bottles, cleaned them thoroughly, and then drew up some hand-made potion labels. Painted the lids black, and wrapped rough twine around the necks of the jars. By filling the jars with water and a few drops of food coloring, then adding rubber bugs and whatnot, I've created some fun and creepy props to display around our home.
This is not by far the end! We have LOTS of decorations to continue, and only three weeks to do it.
Can you say, CRACK THE WHIP!????
