Happy FriYay everyone!
I promised I would try to work a few more posts into this enchanted month but, like everything else, October is slipping by me. This, therefore, will be brief.
Our weather has turned. Last night we had a hard frost which was the end to the remaining outdoor vegetation, and today has been moody and dark...kind of like me.
{Cement Ghosts...remind me of all the mothers who tell their children that their faces will stay that way if they make an unseemly face.}
The photo below was taken a few days ago. This beautiful tree is now almost bare.

No spooking season is complete without some lights:
(Yes, yes, you grammar Nazis (you know who you are) - I KNOW the apostrophe should not be there...but I did not make this sign.)
Fingers crossed that this video works...I've had issues getting them to work here:
If it doesn't work for you, this is a still shot...but it is sooo much better if you can see the light dance.

And since it was so gloomy, it was a perfect day for baking something pumpkin.
These are streusel-topped pumpkin muffies. (In case you aren't familiar with the term, "muffies" are muffins that are baked in special tins so you end up with something that is like just the top of a muffin - the best part as everyone knows.)
{Not the best of photos....they aren't flat like a cookie, but they are definitely not as thick/high as a regular muffin.}
That's it... Short and sweet. (In case you missed it, the "sweet" part of this post was the muffies LOL.) I am off to get a fire going and cross a few stitches.
And when my eyes start to cross from crossing stitches, I will spend too much some time lost in Pendle Forest.
I'll be back!....Maybe...
