Haunted Dolls
My best friend and I are meeting at the Chicago History Museum tomorrow to see the ‘Haunted Dolls & History’s Horrors’ exhibit. I will then proceed to have a very sleepless Saturday night, terrified a doll will peek out from under my bed and pinch my toes. But it’s going to be great!
Pumpkin Muffins!
One of my favorite treats in life is a morning muffin. I’m having pumpkin muffins this week! How do I get out of bed each day without a grumble?! You’re looking at it!

Very Special Plan Brewing
I love my simple home. My simple pursuits. Simple as they are, this summer felt yet again – busy!!
As fall makes its way in, I’m looking forward to slowing down. To reading and writing more, being on-the-go less. I still have several events yet for October, so I hope to see some of you yet. Then it will be back to my writing season, and planning ahead for next year! I have a very special plan brewing – but nothing confirmed yet!

The Mad Hatter Of Toasties: A Poem
I am the Mad Hatter of toasties, smothering my bread in everything that’s good…
Even covering them in melty cheese and eggs, though my conscience isn’t sure I should…
Especially best are those with eggs in a hole, how I swoon with each bite and crunch…
Mad Hatter I am, getting crazy with my toast…I make one wild bunch!
No, no, there’s nothing better, than such hot and toasty delights…
Made right quick for any meal, they’re indubitably the best on chilly autumn nights!
Of course there is salad; greens so fresh, bright and pure…
And roasted squash of every kind, from which I don’t demure!
Always loving am I of a tender fish, potato and asparagus feast…
And my ardor for shrimp, shallots and beans…well that won’t ever cease!
Wondrous goddess you are, divine caprese! So very high on my list…
But toasties, oh toasties, you’re this Mad Hatter’s pleasure, for always and ever. On this I must insist!
An Autumn Poem
Today I took an autumn walk…
The flowers made me forget the clock!
The pinks, they blushed for all to see…
And the yellows, filled my heart with glee!
The robins gobbled plump juniper berries…
There were fresh smelling pine cones and fallen cherries!
The roses were so moving, they danced…
And the bright fall leaves, they shook and pranced!
That adorable squirrel had rather fuzzy ears!
And these vines and leaves, they’ve crept for years.
That seagull dove right at my head…
And his friends thought that was funny!
The ducks were having a pleasant swim…
This drake was with his honey!
All was well until the gulls swooped in,
and said “Give us all your money!”
The three foot fishies, they frighten me…
Summer swims bring nibbled toes, you see!
I could go on and on with this nature talk…
Let’s just say it was a berry beautiful walk!
Birdwatching!
“Mom, mom, mom, mom?”
“Yes Tiddo, what is it?”
“I wondered if I could try a new treat today?”
“What did you have in mind?”
“I hear that woodpeckers are delicious. Oh look, there’s two right here, how convenient! Just open the window for me?”
An Autumn Night In Evanston
“Brrrr mom, it’s getting chilly out there!”
“I think the sun is setting, we better find a warm place.”
“All set…please turn up the thermostat, would ya?”
The evening meal is set…
The house is cozy and warm…
And the fireplace illuminates our evening…
Happy Autumn!
