A Green Halloween

Actually a little bit of red too.

 

  Vampire, Frog Zombie Man (frog was once used for a rainforest party), Robin Hood and "Green Girl". I showed Mr Bowerbird the photos and he laughed wryly, "Oh I hope that one's going on your blog"!

 Of course it's going on the blog!

Checkout how much those kids have grown since Halloween 2010. The Big Bowerbird is getting some good mileage out of that costume. A bit of green and red that year too.

The little Bowerbird put on this face for me before she left, but it was out in full force come bedtime, the post sugar slump is never good.

  

  Frog Zombie Man stole my children

 Robin Hood back from the dead

 

 Someone had to stay home to hand out the cakes. One of my Vegie Group friends snapped this of me, where would I be without that magnet fly-screen?

 All lovingly prepared by the children and my mum.  

Choosing which monster cake or biscuit you were taking home was a serious decision for visiting trick or treaters.

Even more serious was the examination of the lolly loot when the kids got home.  I am not showing this picture to our dentist. Some very serious tooth brushing this week.

Came across this via Mamabake's Facebook page, perhaps next year.
Do you celebrate Halloween?

Willow Bough and Peas

Some peas ready for planting.

Finally a sunny day to get out in the garden!

I got the most beautiful postcard in my letter box on Friday from Kate at Our Little Sins, I was so excited I skipped all the way back inside to open it up. Kate has the most lovely handwriting. These are Kate's pictures below, from this post, do you think I could find the postcard when I wanted to photograph it this morning? 





Dear Kate, 
Of course the sun was not shining when I received the letter, sooo many grey days of late, but if the postman had held on it for the weekend, I would have pulled it out today, so perhaps those well wishes are working after all. I am pining for sunshine, perhaps a shades of blue book would be better. Wet and work are not a good combination.

There has been no confirmation of another Suitcase Rummage event in Melbourne but I am crossing my fingers, it was a really fabulous day.

Willow bough, doesn't that sound romantic? Like a branch you could bend and twist and make into something wondrous. I love green in it's many hues. I think I can match that Pantone colour in the forest of my blue sky picture above. It is the green of Eucalyptus leaves and olives.

Kate is sending 100 Pantone postcards out into the world, placing little rectangles of colour in letter boxes everywhere.  Got to love an old school letter. You can find out more about her here. Now if I can find that letter I might send one back.

Green

A big weekend, with the Bowerbird dad turning a significant number, and we are all seriously sleepy as  a result. 

I will let the awesomeness that is green speak for itself.
