Halloween Nn


Nn is for Night Comes . . .
a poem by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers

Night comes
leaking
out of the sky.

Stars come
peeking.

Moon comes
sneaking,
silvery-sly.

Who is
shaking,
shivery-
quaking?

Who is afraid
of the night?

Not I.

Have a nice Halloween night
or maybe a nice 13-nights-of-Halloween movie marathon.
The 13 nights before Halloween begin Friday night!

Happy October!
Love, Grandma

Halloween Tt


Tt is for trick-or-treat!

One year I had a trick-or-treat tree at my house that
this little duckie found quite tempting, especially after I let
her pick one treat off the tree. One treat was not enough
 . . . she wanted a few more. Well, guess what?

 In another week or so, the trick-or-treat tree
will be back!  Any and all  kids who come to show me
their costume or their projects can pick a treat off the tree!
(Don't worry Jack, Ryan and Nash--the tree
 will still be up in November when you come).

Happy trick-or-treeing,
Love, Grandma
