It's all Hallow's eve again. Heavy on the chocolate.
I've learned a new word. It's BOO-tini. It's a special Hallowe'en beverage. It's served with a skewer of candy corn or a small candy pumpkin. Best as a double.
We've had snow in Canaan; a big, heavy wet snow which pulled the branches to the ground, snapped the lilac trunks on the hill and pulled down three arbors of roses, bittersweet, honeysuckle and wisteria. Hopefully the vines will not have been damaged.
An early snow is such a misplaced event — living things that grow in the earth are not yet ready. And as usual, I must agree.
My friend Tom has sent me a few seasonal graphics from which I selected a few to share. You might also want to take a look at (and a listen to) a special holiday greeting from your new york country girl. You'll have to click below Spike to see and hear a Hallowe'en message.

But today, after two days of cold, bitter days and nights...the air has warmed and most of the snow has melted off. The trees and shrubs are attempting to pull themselves up again to their full height. I know how they feel.
Heavy on the chocolate !
ice caps should not melt. chocolate should.
