HALLOWEEN POEM
Witches flying past on broomsticks,
Black cats leaping here and there,
White-robed spooks on every corner,
Mournful moaning in the air,
Goblins peering out of windows,
Spirit-things that rap and run --
But don't be scared -- it's just October,
Having one last hour of fun!
Have a happy day and beware of the ghosts and goblins! Meeeee-OooWWwwww-HaHaHa!!!!
Boo! ~ Robert
This lovely antique hutch is ornate and has interesting detail to it. Now it is temporarily stored in the breezeway, but will relocate to its more permanent location in the new sun room that Daddy and Mommy will be adding to our house in the spring of 2010.
Detail molding at the top and painted accents add class to the hutch, as seen in the photos above and below ...
The handles on the drawers also add a nice touch with their unique detail. You can also see the painted accents better in the photo above. The combination is visually very stunning.
