October 30th - So Much to Do

Still I have not brought myself to carving into my wonderful pumpkin I found earlier this month.. However it is my plans tomorrow to do just that... To create a wonderful jack o lantern and to roast the seeds.  Yet before tomorrow comes I still have so much else to do....  Shopping for the goodies for our feast tomorrow.  I have decided to make Witches Pie, Roasted Acorn Squash with cinnamon, Roasted Corn and Fairy Cakes for desert.  I also will have roasted pumpkin seeds and hazelnuts to snack on before time as well as a nice warm kettle of apple cider on the stove through out the day. 

It is going to be a small gathering.  I do not know many whom I could invite to come and feast with us on charmed potatoes and fairy cakes; Then sit around the bon fire outside as I burn my wormwood into the night... Although I think that this year that is best... I truly feel like it is not only the beginning of a new year for me yet also the beginning of a new me.  Much has been happening within me this last month and once I learned to allow it and let it go, I could not enjoy it more.  I am eager to start November 1st with a quiet bang.  I know that the coming year will bring much to me in many areas.. Many I am more than likely not even aware of yet.  I love surprises!!!

Today is also Vince & my 3rd anniversary... We will have an afternoon movie then our meal at home.  Something we started shortly  after we started to see each other.  It is just so much more relaxing staying at home laying out the blanket on the floor and laying out all our favorite goodies to nibble on with a bottle or 2 of wine... Such goodies as sauteed mushrooms, asparagus in lemon butter, crab and shrimp, strawberries, and on and on.  We can have a feast and then some for half the cost of a swanky meal out... Plus if the mood arises.... we can act upon it immediately instead of waiting...

Don't forget, tomorrow is also when I announce the winner of my October Giveaway - A Little Tonic Before Bedtime.  If you haven't entered just click on the link and it will take you straight there.  Yea I know I said the entries would stop today but I see no problem taking it up til when I draw tomorrow.  Have a wonderful Friday...
