October... the most transitional of months. Home to Halloween, Samhain, whatever you choose to call it, and the beginning of cold, cold, cold. We begin to contemplate the blustery winter, and the new year and what it may bring. We switch out our camisoles for acrylic sweaters and fleece-lined tights. The leaves are dying, falling, and leaving...

Thunder and Lightning
I love a dark and spooky night. We were treated to one this week. The wind picked up in a way I'm not used to, at least this far inland.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter review
You know how everyone has that one subject they nerd out over? For some it's Tolkien, for others it's computer games. For me, it's Harry Potter.

It's the series that made me want to become a writer....
