Crowns, Leaves


You should all know before Halloween tomorrow that I am the Harvest Queen. Maybe you have not heard, but it is true. I have it on good authority that the previous Harvest Queen was deposed for fraternizing with spring blooms. So now it is me.

Things Harvest Queens Do:

1. Throw leaves
2. Wear crowns
3. Drink cider
4. Visit castles
5. Kiss gourds
6. Wear boots
7. Kick leaves
8. March in parades
9. Say the word "abundance" with great frequency

They do some other things too, but I am not allowed to talk about those things. They are secret Harvest Queen activities. I would not want to be deposed, after all.

Happy 'Ween, all.
May your moons be full, your leaves slugless.

I have little trouble believing that you are the Queen of the Harvest. Anyone who still kicks leaves after an unfortunate leaf-kicking related slug encounter simply must be the Queen of all things Harvest.

I went as the Octo-Mom this year and most houses seemed a little resentful that I requested a piece of candy for each one of my eight fictitious babies.
