The Bag Lady

We’re used to the stares

From young blond hairs

We’re producing heirs

Of course! We’re hares!

We come by it naturally.

Goofy grins

Scary scowls

Pumpkin faces

Make me howl

Screeching cats

With backs arched

Flying bats

Blood thirst parched

All these creatures we will see

In five days on Halloween!

Hesitatingly, he asked her to dance.

Joe and Jack were searching the woods for something new, something nice. After hearing their moms irate tirade this morning, they thought maybe finding something pretty might please her. It was suddenly right in front of them, a flower they’d not seen before. They thought they had found the gift they needed.

They picked it out of the ground carefully, ensuring the roots were intact. When the two arrived home, they went into the garage and picked out an old green moss trimmed pot to plant it in. They were so excited to present it to their mom.

“Oh my goodness”, she cried, knowing she had let her temper get away from her earlier. She bent down to sniff it and a weird look came over her face. The boys had picked a “Stinking Benjamin” otherwise known as a red trillium. Beautiful and unique, but not emitting a delightful fragrance. The boys also sniffed out of curiosity and it was decided to put the gift high on a shelf above their noses.

“Ouch! That broom has splinters!” The old witch rubbed her backside and shook the rattle of her skull wand at the novice. “Your job is to polish the broom every morning after my night rides!”

The young witch had worked hard to get the old one’s approval. Earning the full hat was a difficult task but she wanted it badly. The rules stated a few bat wings she had earned as a hat were not enough to ride out on All Hallows’ eve. It was coming right up, she only had a few days left to impress the old one.

“Get stirring that brew, everyone will be here shortly! Pong it strong, use the rat skins and cow pies, to make it reek. That takes time, so get moving! I doubt you’ll qualify as a full fledged witch this year, if you keep this up.”

The younger witch added more of the strong smelling ingredients and stirred quickly. A young hag’s work was never done.

The morning routine, checking the roads, and making sure the bridge was still steady and safe. The ranger loved these mornings, with the impending beauty of snow. The trees had been trimmed and broken branches were piled to make homes for small critters in the coming winter. The lake was starting to freeze and the fish would be settling in under the rocky glades. Every part of his surroundings was a blessing to him. His life’s work was being the keeper of this forest.

In between the morning sun

After running, playing fun

Midday meal and school and chores

Comes the highlight of the moors

Grassy mounds waving in the breeze

Birds start nesting in the trees

Twilight comes sweetly drifting in

And the awaited evening end begins.

The prompt for today is “dress”. I was thinking about how it seems all manner of dress revolves, so don’t throw out your trendy clothes, you’ll be seeing those trends again, and then read this.

I think we stayed up too late

My toad and I can’t keep our date

Our eyes won’t focus, and the broom?

No longer does it weave and zoom

Was it a nightmare or was it real

The broom just curled up like an eel

We can’t make the Halloween bash

Broom is useless now, would crash.

I had to laugh at the addition of, “with your hot drinks” on Rory’s first question. . .As soon as the first hot sweet liquid coffee hits my lips. I turn on the kettle and I usually empty the dishwasher while I’m waiting. I’m not a person who can sit and do nothing while waiting for anything. Impatience, anyone?

I am probably too honest, here in the blog, too. If you are asking about life, I am not hurtful, but if asked, I’ll answer honestly.

I have no idea. We did have a 45 player on our huge console stereo but I can’t remember my first purchase. The first album my dad purchased when I was in high school, was an instrumental recording of ” Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No 1 in B Flat Minor”. When buying the stereo he told the salesman he would only purchase it if he included the record that was playing as a demo. Deal done.

I see now I completely omitted the last question about noise. I blame this on my lovely new editor of photos on the aforementioned upgrade.🙄😫

Now for my answer to number four, apparently I let it bother me more than I should. I was at dinner a few days ago and the loud voice of one of us was so distracting people were staring. That is annoying, you can only take a close person’s loud voice so long. Yes, just had to sit there being stared at.
