The day before yesterday the mail came as usual. Nothing unusual until I spotted this among the advertisements and bills! I wondered "Who could be sending me something from Salem?" and I opened it...
...and Autumn Leaves began to fall...and fall...
and I began to smile from ear to ear!
...and Autumn Leaves began to fall...and fall...
and I began to smile from ear to ear!
My very Fall friend over at October Farm sent me this from Salem MA. Remember? I told you about it in my yesterdays post?
You see, what you must understand is that I will never get to Salem. No. I won't. I don't even kid myself, so this is so very special to me. I love Fall and I get such a kick out of Halloween and when this arrived...I practically jumped for joy! Thank you, Joyce!
See the little delicate lettering? Joyce!
See the little cauldron and the waves of steam coming from it? Joyce!
I have NO clue how she did this....Joyce made them herself!!
See those little leaves? Well, when I opened the envelope...and pulled out the card...little golden leaves of different hues sifted to the ground. Pretty much the only beautiful Fall leaves I will experience...and never, never like they have on the East Coast.
IF I had never discovered blogging...things like this would never happen to me. *smile*
I am SUCH a happy camper!
My Granddaddy used to say "Mona, don't worry about Goblins gettin' ya! They'll letcha go when daylight comes and they get a good look attcha!" :)
Happy Halloween!
Lovn'hugs,
Mona

This is the one time of year I truly miss my old stompin grounds. The beauty of autumn up there is like no where else. The smells begin to change over in PA and throughout the the tips of each state going up 95. Then it hits you. Right around the MA/NH border.... all you can smell is apple orchards and leaves. It's a bit of heaven right here on earth. Hugs. Tammy
