HE PUT ON A WIG HOPING THAT HE WOULDN’T BE RECOGNIZED, BUT REALIZE HE HAD FAILED WHEN…he noticed his gorilla-like hairy legs were protruding from his mom’s borrowed dress. He ditched the dress and chose some of her old 70s wide legged pants and a flowered top to match. Then looking in the mirror, realized he would cause more attention in that outfit and ditched that one too.
This trying to be incognito while spying on his girlfriend was turning out to be quite a hassle.
Drusilla was one of the few witches in her coven that had a problem with directions. Most of the witches could hop on their brooms and just speak where they wanted to go, but Drusilla didn’t have that talent. In fact she usually had a map or a note with directions in her pocket for that reason.
The problem was today she had also stuffed her pocket with rotten nuts, dried crickets, and wilted spiders to feed her animal friends that were also going to be at this gathering. So as she’s sailing along among the dense clouds she realizes the rest of the group has gone too far ahead and she doesn’t see them anymore. As she moves down closer to the ground she notices fog has surrounded every destination she thinks they might be going to and she’s completely lost her way.
She fumbles in her pocket throwing out the spiders, crickets and the nuts, tosses them to the wind and retrieves the note with directions. As she holds it up to her face suddenly she bangs into a huge wall. The embarrassment couldn’t have been worse as her fellow coven members stood on the ground laughing.
Yolanda Badback, the protest’s founder, estimated this was their biggest walk ever. Badback picked up the mantle of her late uncle, who also fought against the mill. Her brother, Michael Badback, said when the mill’s smoke stacks are going, “the smoke settles in White Mesa, and you can smell the sulfur.”
He blames the mill for increasing cases of asthma in the community’s kids and doing much worse to seniors.
“A lot of our elders mysteriously got sick, and a lot of them have passed,” Badback said, adding they still don’t know the cause.
I don’t believe in hauntings skeletons, or creepy ravens on a perch I think it’s your imagination that makes you startle and then lurch of course I could be wrong as I am on many things But could be superstitious if I hear flutter from bat wings, I don’t invite ghosts in a seance with tarot cards I don’t go to funerals or visit old graveyards I don’t enjoy such images or seek out the occult because I admit I really fear the outcome and result
In New England root vegetables were a staple from our large garden and soup was a wintery treat that I still enjoy today. Chicken or beef stock is not needed to make a delicious entree.

Looking at the clock after turning off the unceasing alarm, only to realize it’s barely dawn! Nevertheless I had to get out of bed, trudge to the bathroom and not willing to look in the mirror yet, splashed water on my face and held the towel up. Then I tossed it onto the counter and took the plunge—an early start because of the dreaded office get together at Starbucks.
It was about this time I heard the creaking of the stairs and saw a troubled arch of brows in my reflection. Could it be my Newfoundland, Charlie, my huge companion, or something else? I suddenly felt a wet nose on my leg and a sigh of relief. Charlie usually wakes me, but this morning I rose too early even for him.
