"Is it really haunted?"

14 Days until Halloween

Wow, just think two weeks from today and it will be Halloween. How time flies. I do hope that you enjoyed the different extreme pumpkin carvings on Tuesday blog. Now, my passion doesn't just stop with wild pumpkin carvings, stories and poems, there is another love to my eclectic mind, and it’s where a lot of my inspiration comes from when writing scary stories. Have you ever been driving along a road and the moon is full in the sky with an occasional transparent cloud lofting over it and suddenly a quaint home you may have passed by a dozen times, has a spooky hue to it. My husband thinks I am nuts when I start yelling- "STOP THE TRUCK!" course he thinks that I'm in need of ladies room pit stop, but instead I quickly grab my camera and start taking all types photos with strange angles on a home who’s owner I don't even know. So today, I did a little internet surfing to see if any pictures grabbed me in the same way, and you know what - they did. There is one picture that is art, that I also included the artist website. The picture I chose really struck a chord with me, which I'll explain more when you see it at the bottom of the page, and then I'll tell you why. Have a wonderful Hump Day and I'll blog ya tomorrow.

OK, so as I was saying about this piece of art work above. I was mesmerized by it, drawn in, felling almost like it was a sense of home. In New Hampshire you see many styles of homes like these, but they are becoming fewer and far between. But still I was not happy with that explanation as the answer to why I feel a connection to this piece of art. You know how people will say..."It moves me." Well this did. And then it hit me like a lead pumpkin. Take a closer look at the window over the entry door. When I was a little girl, we lived in a home that had a dormer window with this same window pattern. Seeing this window pattern again after, 20+ year of being away from where I grew up, and the way the moon looks reminded me of my youthful years of living in our little home on White Oaks Road and how my mother would have the best decorations and candy, that would be out all the ghouls of the neighborhood. Oh the memories. Ok, so here is what I am going to do, I'll do my best to find a picture of it and I'll post it with some of my costumes of yesteryear. Maybe I'll save that one for Halloween Night. For now I'll leave you with the link to the Artist webpage and his wonderful art work. Night All.
