(Molly, left, and buried witches)
Halloween is three weeks away, but it came early to the Basler house this year. Thanks to an unplanned sewer problem, we find ourselves the reluctant owners of a giant mound of leftover soil, which will be with us for a while.
If you’re going to have one of these grave-like attractions in your yard, Halloween is the best time for it. Thoughtful neighbors have already begun decorating it for us.
Molly isn’t quite sure about this, but the rest of us are all in. Bring us your skeletons, your witches and your assorted undead!
But no human cadavers, please, we’re not zoned for it.
Meanwhile, today’s Throwback Thursday rerun, Either Turn on the Light or Make it Morning, seems perfect for this occasion.
There was once a witch
Who turned on the switch
Hoping to brighten the early fall morning.
What did she see looking down from a tree?
Her cousins Bob’s dirt pile adorning.
No tampering.
Instead of Turn on the Light, shouldn’t it be Flip the Witch?
