hAPPY hALLOWEEN

THE HAG

The Hag is astride,
This night for to ride;
The Devill and shee together:
Through thick, and through thin,
Now out, and then in,
Though ne’r so foule be the weather.

A Thorn or a Burr
She takes for a Spurre:
With a lash of a Bramble she rides now,
Through Brakes and through Bryars,
O’re Ditches, and Mires,
She followes the Spirit that guides now.

No Beast, for his food,
Dares now range the wood;
But husht in his laire he lies lurking:
While mischiefs, by these,
On Land and on Seas,
At noone of Night are working,

The storme will arise,
And trouble the skies;
This night, and more for the wonder,
The ghost from the Tomb
Affrighted shall come,
Cal’d out by the clap of the Thunder.

Robert Herrick (1648)

From my dashboard I chose a random word – lettuce – typed it in, clicked on search and SCORE! I discovered the coolest lens, Growing Your Own Organic Lettuce Garden.

Prep your beds, sprinkle on your seeds, water, watch em’ grow, and harvest! Lensmaster Mark Keeler makes anyone with an ounce of gumption want to give it a shot. While I was reading through the lens I was already picking out the perfect plot in my yard

Encouraging you to go read the lens – while you are at it take a peek at the other stuff he has created. Gourmet Home Coffee Roasting also caught my eye – he’s even added his own YouTube video on there!

The new Rocket Mom’s are off and running with ‘try-it week’ and it is amazing to see what they have been up to. One lens in particular caught my attention because it is something I heard about way after my boys were grown and thought it a very cool communication tool.

The lens is Teach My Baby Sign Language by Stephanie (sdakin). She has not only written about a very valuable parenting tool, she has peppered the lens with personal experience, plus helpful photos and tips. So mommy’s, daddy’s, Nana’s and Pop’s head in to see what Stephanie has created…bet you will be pleasantly surprised.
