It's good too. I'll look for the picture book. The bursts are on IPhone5 & up, so if you have one, just press down & hold the photo button. It'll take a 'burst' of photos & will catch the action. Have a great week, Ramona-so excited for your Friday poetry!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-72049129043351327312014-10-22T06:47:30.307-06:002014-10-22T06:47:30.307-06:00Thanks Cathy, love that someone gave a comic book....Thanks Cathy, love that someone gave a comic book.

Mrs. Lewallen, my 4th grade teacher, shared this poem with us, and I remember being scared by it. I think we were exposed to lots of James Whitcomb Riley and Eugene Field back in the day. I still love "When the Frost is On the Punkin," and was delighted to pick up a picture book version of it illustrated by Glenna Lang.<br />My fallback costumes were always a clown, a hobo, or a gypsy. You could always make those costumes from stuff at home. And we carried pillowcases to hold our haul for the evening. I love the Halloween scenes in "Meet Me in St. Louis." <br />I need to have you teach me how to do a burst on my phone!<br /><br />Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929914252480696798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-48689556603428091052014-10-21T21:26:41.803-06:002014-10-21T21:26:41.803-06:00Linda,

Your photographs are beautiful and really catch the action of this colorful season. Your post also took me back to the days of Halloweens with plastic costumes and stringed masks. The walks around our neighborhood were always full of adventure. There was a lady who gave out a comic book each year and another who always dropped a nickel in our bags. Great memories.<br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-86594514257037165892014-10-21T21:20:38.489-06:002014-10-21T21:20:38.489-06:00We played the authors game, too.
