BACK TO WORK!

Once a spider built a beautiful web in an old barn. She kept it clean and shiny so that flies would buzz a bit nearer. The minute she got a visitor she would clean up on it so the other flies would not get suspicious.

Then one day a fairly intelligent fly came buzzing by the clean spider web. The spider called out, "Come in and sit." But the fly said, "No, ma’am. I don’t see other flies in your house, and I am not going in alone!"

 

 

But presently the fly saw on the floor below a large crowd of flies dancing around on a piece of brown paper. It was delighted! It was not afraid if lots of flies were doing the same. So the fly came in for a landing.

Just before it landed, a bee zoomed by, saying, "Don’t land there, stupid, that’s flypaper!" But the fly shouted back, "Don’t be silly, those flies are dancing. There’s a big crowd there. That many flies can’t be wrong."

Well, you know what happened, the fly got stuck and died. Isn’t it strange how some of us want to be with the crowd so badly that we end up in a sticky mess.

What does it profit a fly (or a person) if it escapes the web only to end up stuck in the glue

 

 

 Good Morning !

 It’s Trick or Treat at our house tonight. We always sit out on the porch at the top of the steps so that the little ones don’t have to come up to ring the doorbell…and besides that we get to see more that way.

It’s supposed to be very chilly this evening, so I’ll be dressing up in my Winter Coat. It is black after all !

Somewhere on a field’s edge

Where pumpkin vines grow thick

We’ll find a bright orage pumpkin

Exactly right to pick

We’ll take it home and scoop it out

And make the rounded eyes,

Triangle nose, and a grin so big

It could win a smile prize!

Down inside we’ll put a light

To shine out in the night,

And give our friends and passersby

A lovely kind of fright

Shining from our windowsill

Out upon the street,

A cheery jack-o-lantern grin

Makes Halloween complete

Have a safe and happy Halloween!

I will refresh the weary

and Satisfy the faint.
