The Thing

On a rare autumn night

Against the strongest wind

Came a lengthening of chin

With a hideous grin.

One shoulder hunched up

While string fingers turned goldie

It clutched enough meadow

To turn pumpkins moldy.

Then it hung for awhile

On a creaking gate post

And shadowed the yard

With the face of a ghost.

 The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe - Read by Alan Rickman

It’s already the middle of October!

I’m recommending Sleepy Hollow (1999) tonight with Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci. You can watch the full version on YouTube Movies and TV - with ads (TV style cut).

Parts of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula are already in full color. Autumn is here! Hope you are enjoying the weather and everything good that comes with the changing season.

Very Interesting!
