Things are getting serious.....
THE SUN SETS.....
Better stay in...or do you want to come out..and join the fun......
Then run run run...you'r late...you'r late...go and put on your Halloween costume...
Follow the Elderberry....they know where to be...
Enter the very spooky Hilltop forest...
And don't let anyone scare you...
Because I'm sure we can scare them all....
HAPPY HALLOWEEN...
On the playlist..scary music...

Swifter than the Moon's sphere..
Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire!
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green;
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours;
In those freckles live their savours;
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
William Shakespeare

There is something in the air..the Hilltop is waiting for spirits fair....(or not so fair)..its almost Halloween....!
Snuggle up..
Ah,there you are,tell me...how are you today...?
I just came home..arriving in the middle of the night..on a cold cold Hilltop..
I don't know about you but I'm not very happy with cold temperatures....I'm the one who's always sitting close to the fire..wearing a scarf, two sweaters and everything else you can imagine to keep warm..Sure,its very cosy and snug sitting by the fire but Hilltop Hall is a very big place..so you can see me running from hearth to hearth...and I'm yelling ten times a day to my hubby..close the door...there's a draft..!
Its so good to see you again..please sit with me for a while..take some time for yourself..snuggle up..stare into the fire..and listen to some beautiful music..the world will keep turning..

“Keep your faith in all beautiful things; in the sun when it is hidden, in the Spring when it is gone.”
Feel free to visit the Hilltop Hall garden....Autumn is ever so magical there...and when you want a big bear hug and a little moussie's smile...visit THIS place...

IIIIts Monday..
Its not a bad day...its never a bad day when you learn something..
“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it
seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that
you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:
a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that
regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're
gone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as
making a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both
hands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that whenever
I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've
learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that
every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or
just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you
did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Shadows..
The coridores in Hilltop Hall are long and dark......
Last, to the chamber where I lie
My fearful footsteps patter nigh,
And come out from the cold and gloom
Into my warm and cheerful room.
There, safe arrived, we turn about
To keep the coming shadows out,
And close the happy door at last
On all the perils that we past.
Then, when mamma goes by to bed,
She shall come in with tip-toe tread,
And see me lying warm and fast
And in the Land of Nod at last.
"“Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.” I wish you a lovely weekend..without worries..

“No person who can read is ever successful at cleaning out an attic”

Keep your dreams....
Look to your dreams
There's a need for them now
When the world has us down
Aren't you glad they're around
Once conceived, once believed fantasy's reality's childhood
And like a seed, visions need constant care like a child would, we should
Look to your dreams
We can still make the stars
We can still break the bars
We have built here on earth
Look to your dreams..

Orange looks like blue..
When your feet feel like they're made of stone and your bones are full of lead
Muscles feel like they're galvanized and there's concrete in your head
When your blood flows like molasses, you can't add two and two
The top looks like the bottom and orange looks like blue.
Bring on the Choclate I need a Hot Choclate boost....
Now if you can keep a secret, just leave it up to me.
I'll take the funds and build us a chocolate factory..
Have a wonderful weekend...stay warm and stay happy..

I'm thinking...
I Thought a Thought
I thought a thought But the thought I thought Was not the thought I thought I thought...
There are days when you need to take time to think.....and I swear...when there's hope..when there's faith, and when there's love..I find the strenght to just FLY out of the window...I wish you happy thoughts.
And if you feel safer with your feet on the ground then visit THIS place..say Hi for me..

Now that the fairies left the building the dwarves are taking over....don't be alarmed when there's one in your bedroom...waking you up..
Goodmorning dearest...did you sleep well...time to rise and shine..its a beautifull Autumn day at the Hilltop..Breakfast in ten minutes..blueberrie pancakes..
“There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again.”

Glee...
It is with great glee that I may announce the fairies... they will be gliding into the Hilltop hall, giggling, and glowing for joy....
I believe in the little people,
Faeries, gnomes and elves.
If we can t find them in this world,
Perhaps we'll find them in ourselves.
Gail Lawson White
Tonight we will celebrate a fairy fairwell party....Tomorrow they will be traveling to a fair far away fairy ground.....Goodness..its October already..!
