Enjoy the night sky and full moon.  

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone on the east cost. Stay safe.  

I'm exhausted. We're still harvesting Pecans.  I hope to post pictures soon.  My autoimmune disease is causing all kinds of complications. I have a terrible rash, joint, muscle and nerve pain and extreme fatigue.  I wasn't sure if I would be able to post tonight. I'll stop whining now. :D

 I'm making sour patch kid vodka. I'm going to use the cherry and lime ones.  It has to sit for two days and you have to shake it three times a day.  Thanks, Nadia G! http://bitchinlifestyle.com/  Then I will drain it and use the sour cherry/lime vodka with cola, ice and fresh slices of lime (lime from our lime trees. We will have a wonderful citrus harvest this year. A few limes were ready early. Just in time for my cocktail :) ). I will also put sour patch kids on a skewer . :) ETA: I decided to make a lemon/orange candy vodka, too. I'll add orange juice, ice and lemon and orange slices from our citrus harvest. I will take pictures. I have Halloween ales and a witches' brew, too.  

We're having Gumbo, tonight. It smells so good!  Thinking about making chili for Halloween or just eat leftover Gumbo. It will depend on how I feel.  Looking forward to sitting outside next to the bonfire.  

I'm currently reading " A Halloween Reader: Poems, Stories and Plays from Halloweens Past" -Edited by Lesley Pratt Bannatyne.  I love reading spooky stories while listing to scary music. I plan on watching lots of Horror movies and Halloween Specials. :) 

I still need to send e-mails. Thanks for everyone's patience.

My Aunt Pat passed away on October 3. Since my father's passing on January 18, 2009, we've lost eight more relatives.  It's been so terribly painful. Family, friends, my cats and nature have been a great source of comfort.

Happy New Year's Eve!     Picture found on vk,com.
