If you are a dreamer, come in
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by the fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!


Invitation, by Shel Silverstein


It was quite the set-up for Halloween this year. Heavy, pounding rain all night long, which cleared out after daybreak and was replaced by strong, gusty winds. Then after dark we had these two creatures show up and stare at us through the window like they wanted to come in. Turns out they're not as fearsome as they look.
