Happy Halloween!

The day has arrived, we made it! It is the big night in Salem. Thousands of people will descend on our fair city to fill the streets with costumes, reverie, and excitement . It really is quite the event.  Sweet Eddie and I have our costumes ready and we can't wait!

Welcome to the Witch City!

The Witches are ready to cast a spell

And Candy Corn is happy, can't you tell?

The Spiders in their webs are starting to crawl

While the Mummy is there to creep on us all.

The Pumpkin is carved and out on display

And the Bat is in flight and eager to play.

The moon glows brightly over a spooky tree

And Zombies are hungry to eat you and me!

As the Ghosties float by so tranquil and serene,

 I wish you all a truly Happy Halloween!

Furrybones® Cookies

Now that it is October, Halloween season has officially begun here in Salem! That means tourists, lots of tourists, lots of traffic, ghost tours, costumes, people watching, and lots of Halloween decorations and goodies in every shop. We love it!

To kick off the season, I made cookies of some cute and creepy little toys that I kept seeing in the local shops. Furrybones® are the creation of artist Misaki Sawada. They are skeletons who love costumes. There are so many different critters, so I chose some of my favorites to cookie.
