It is 6:30 here in Pacific<br />Time, and no children have come to our<br />door yet. Parents are more wary than<br />ever of letting kids roam. You did say<br />that Willow Manor is back in the<br />boonies, and no trick-or-treaters<br />brave the trek to it. Oh well, you have<br />the housekeeper and the hanged man<br />to keep your spirits up, right?Glenn Buttkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680725814199700692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-86339788706140016352010-10-31T20:26:24.073-04:002010-10-31T20:26:24.073-04:00I promise...right now it' s my screensaver...t...I promise...right now it' s my screensaver...thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728645243327906117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-62495935450260704612010-10-31T19:25:55.257-04:002010-10-31T19:25:55.257-04:00A lovely discovery, very wabi-sabi, and I love the...A lovely discovery, very wabi-sabi, and I love the poem by George Eliot.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-34578081496891305922010-10-31T18:17:34.299-04:002010-10-31T18:17:34.299-04:00This is an unusual find and a lovely poem.This is an unusual find and a lovely poem.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123691580195879542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-23172502805440138892010-10-31T17:53:26.408-04:002010-10-31T17:53:26.408-04:00Stunning, indeed!
