In the Dark of the Moon
In the dark of the moon,
Beware! Have a care!
Of the ring at the door
And nobody there.
Of the soap hieroglyphics
On a clean pane;
Of hushed, ghostly giggles;
Of steps down a lane.
Beware! Have a care!
Of the small shape in white
With a pumpkin lantern,
Its features alight.
No use to be looking
Stern, staid and sober--
Better turn goblin
This night in October.

Top picture is taken in my back yard. Definitely fall/autumn has arrived!
My front porch is decorated with pumpkins and chrysanthemums. Just the things that to me say fall/autumn and Halloween. Do you see the tiny pumpkin? It is the only pumpkin that came from my "live-in gardener's" garden.
Enjoy a few giggles today and tonight and celebrate the season of ghosts and goblins.
Orange pumpkins and Mums - they just says Fall is here. What a beautiful photo this is, Marilyn. I really like it. It must make you smile when you look in your back yard and see this Fall setting. I only bought one pumpkin this year. They can be expensive.
