“Magic is really very simple, all you’ve got to do is want something and then let yourself have it.”

5 POINTS WHAT MOVIE IS THE QUOTE FROM

"My darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage!"

5 POINTS WHAT MOVIE IS THE QUOTE FROM (posting while the gettin is good ;-) ).

"Who are you? "

"Just your average, horny little devil".

Magic is really very simple, all you’ve got to do is want something and then let yourself have it: quote from "Halloweentown"

Yes to both Amy and Donna!

5 POINTS Adam Sandler provides the voice of a vampire in which computer-animated family friendly film?

5 POINTS Tim Burton directed which animated film about a boy saving his dog?

The rollercoaster of power continues here - was on a lot this last bit as cell towers stayed up, starting tomorrow morning the new outage plan shows much larger swaths of the state going powerless, so again, if I disappear for a bit no worries.

Adam Sandler is Hotel Transylvania

and I think the Tim Burton one is Frankenweenie??

And keep safe, also thank you for splitting the thread...

sincerely,

Here’s the view from my front stoop, the trees are finally doing their thing

My yard is tiny, but since I live across the street from one of the little league fields, I like to imagine it’s my front yard lol.

Sunny for the points (yes to Hotel Transylvania and Frankenweenie).

Yes, we should probably start a “once at 150 comments, break up a thread” policy (previous at 247 comments). On a laptop, easy to forget what a pain it can be to load on a phone.

Great trees - nice Halloween decorations on the shrubs too (we have webbing spiders who do something similar to plants out here but your webs aren’t quite the same as the “real” bug ones).

5 POINTS Which animated short Halloween film has Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as the voice of the characters?

So, I need this one, King of Mice Studios on Etsy, so this is a few years old and not in her current

.

She had a few versions. Haven for Wayward Cats also applies here.

Toy Story of Terror

Correct Amy!

Came into my Facebook feed this morning and I LOVE it!!!

Sending safe wishes to those in California. My older daughter and her family live there, too, so seeing the flames and hearing about the high winds is a fright to all of us.

Maggie, thanks for carrying on even with having to use your phone. I can imagine how hard it is to do that.

If I'm not back on before then - Happy Halloween!

Week 5 October 27 through 31st

Posts with pictures still get 5 points - garden, any crafts sharing, fall, Halloween or related to any discussions we’re having.

What’s happening in your garden, what crafting you’re up to or just plain what you’re up to posts also get 5 points.

Week 4 Winner - Breanne! Thanks for all those pics, lived them especially the fox and Frozen.

:-).

YAY! I actually stopped getting notifications due to the switch in threads... and I thought you had gone cold due to an outage! I am so glad you split the posts! I am also glad I went back and carefully reread so I found the new ONE! I am loving all the cartoons! Great Job Amy and Donna!!

Monarchs.

NASA photo of the sun.

Who wore it best? Sorry not posting many words, but phone barely has power and that’s after charging it for a bit in the car. New power shutdown starts tomorrow and it looks like I won’t get the day of power today in between shutdowns I’d hoped for ( gah)!

I have been trying to post pictures of our trip out west but they disappear. :(

Had a day of no power on the phone so had to go drive about.

Margo - did you try loading one picture at a time? Not loading them directly from an iPhone? Those are teh two things that trip me up.

Well, just tried a post with pic and nada.

Fun!! "Eye of Newt" was just the then common name for mustard seed that bubbled in the cauldron of the weird sisters from "Macbeth" …

Read on for the rest of the ingredients and their corresponding scientific names.https://www.continuum.umn.edu/2017/10/shakespearean-recipe-witchs-brew/

"

“Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting, Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”

Ingredients from Wangensteen

While gathering ingredients to fill our cauldron, we quickly found that the eye of newt was not to be taken literally but in fact a common name for mustard seed. This was true for some of the other ingredients as well:

• Toe of frog = Buttercup (Ranunculus acris L.)
• Wool of bat = Holly Leaves (Ilex aquifolium)
• Tongue of dog = Gypsyflower from the Genus Hound’s Tounge (Cynoglossum officinale L.)
• Adders fork = Least Adder’s-tongue (Ophioglossum lusitanicum L.)
• Blind-worm = Slowworm (Anguis fragilis)

If you have any intentions of trying your luck at this brew, don’t be fooled, it’s much easier to gather holly leaves than the wool of a bat, as we have learned from experience”.

Maggie, Thank you for a great month of fun! Amy

Thanks Amy, Stopping by to say I think I’ll cancel having a last week winner as we haven’t had posting here and I’d want to tally tonight to report tomorrow. I will get remaining week prizes in the mail soon as (yea!) I have power and no immediate threat of fire causing wind storms for those of us in Northern CA.

Thanks for everything, I had a blast!!

Blessed Samhain )O(

and

Happy Halloween

Maggie, thank you for the awesome swap this month.

fellow FOTESS swappers. I will be posting the November swap tomorrow. I know the busy holidays are approaching so I hope each of you are able to join in. It’s a good time to catch up with everyone. If you can’t swap, stop by and say hi.

Margo

Maggie, you have been such a trooper dealing with making this a wonderful month even through you've been fighting power outages. Thank you. I hope the fires aren't close by. I watch the evening news and it looks so horrible. Keeping everyone in my prayers that they will be safe.

Happy Halloween!

Another chance to hit GardenTrends (yes! I can get that Indigo Tomato I missed last time).

Indigo Rose tomato https://extension.oregonstate.edu/news/purple-tomato-debuts-indigo-rose Biggest issue sound like as it’s always deep purple, people harvest too early then it’s not as tasty. They tell you make sure the bottom has no green and it’s getting a bit soft before pulling it. Bred to have high levels of antioxidants, not in other tomatoes. "The new tomato is released as an open pollinated variety, and as such, seed saved from self-pollinated plants will grow true and not produce hybrids. "It's also important to know that genetic engineering techniques are never used to develop these lines," Myers said. "These tomatoes are not GMO.” Mine’s in my cart, need to double check a few of my lists to be sure I didn’t miss anything else this time.

Finally got the chance to post the November swap. I hope you all can join in. Keeping it simple.

Maggie, Thank you for the beautiful pin. It is gorgeous! I can't wait to wear it to work this week. It is so stunning. Thank you again! Amy

Amy - so happy you like it! I made two at the same time and just wore mine for the first time tonight to our Master Gardener year end dinner.

Maggie thanks for my prize I love the card making supplies! Also thanks again for an awesome and fun swap as always!

Thanks Breanne - if you have any question at all about them, let me know. I was happy to see you were a stamper :-)
