Hotness, and I don't mean the weather

A certain Swedish blogger I know (Hi Christer)  is going to shake his head and groan when I write this. BUT, today is Johnny Depp's birthday and I can't let it pass, nor should I, right Stacy? For all you Depp Darlings out there, our dreamy fella turns 49 today. I would so enjoy presenting him with a birthday cake, wouldn't you?

Just got the new Eli Monpress book. This is the book I talked about last month, written by Rachel Aaron. A wonderful author with imagination and skill. The latest book about the irrepressible Eli is called The Spirit War. I have read about 50 pages and it looks to be as great as the other books in this series. Give it a try, seriously.

Speaking of books, a good one for those interested in the celebration of a wonderful Wiccan sabbat is called Midsummer, by Anna Franklin. This lovely book explains all about the Summer Solstice, (Litha is the Wiccan name for this sabbat) including traditional events, food, customs, rituals, folk lore, crafts, correspondences. A ton of info. I enjoy reading these type of books a few weeks before a sabbat to refresh my memory and to get charged up for my own observance.

All for today. Have a wonderful Saturday.

Sunday Sampler

Need I say the dogs went nuts when they saw THIS!

A chilly Autumn day here, leaves flying around, the sun comes and goes, the clouds look ominous, then scurry away. Perfect!

Here is a favorite movie I absolutely have to watch every October, usually just a few days before the 31st. It may be a bit corny, perhaps a little silly....it definitely is hilarious, and I just adore it. I love all three actresses who play their roles with gusto, I love the scenery, the plot and the cat. I love the haunting little tune that one of the characters sings, and who can forget the "raining fire of death"?

Love it!!!

Speaking of witches, I want to recommend a blog I truly enjoy. There were three posts this week that impacted me on different levels. Lyn over at http://www.witch-blog.com/ posted about blog content theft, which prompted me to add a little copyright blurb at the bottom of my blog. She also talked about intent in our charitable giving, which I had never given much thought to, and has really changed my whole thinking about giving. And finally Lyn offered a little daydream/fantasy that gave me a smile when she asked what our favorite chocolate is and, if, stranded on a desert island who would we share that chocolate with. She mentioned Johnny Depp, and I have to say, wow and oh my, wouldnt that be nice.  (Of course I am happily and inexonerably married to my darling adorable husband, and would not Seriously think of running off to a desert island to eat dark chocolate with Johnny Depp, good goddess what are you thinking!!!!) Anyway, take a stroll over to Lyn's blog when you have a chance.

Take care, and Bright Blessings
