Thank you, women who are mothers! You have sheltered human beings within yourselves in a unique experience of joy and travail. This experience makes you became God’s own smile upon the newborn child, the one who guides your child’s first steps, who helps it to grow, and who is the anchor as the child makes its way along the journey of life.

Halloween party

It was a dark evening , the segments of the moon lit up the whole town making it look like a scary place , bleak .

They were heard screaming and shouting of children impatient, with a crazy desire to show off the new Halloween costumes . From the corners of the streets, poking little boys dressed up as ghosts , skeletons and vampires with bags full of tasty candies . The festoons hanging from the balconies of many homes give Gothic atmosphere : evening of Halloween was perfect . The kitchens gave off an intense smell of pumpkin. Moms , intent on make up and dress their children made ​​lots of recommendations: back soon , be careful , do not go in desolate street … Groups of children knocking on the doors of the houses asking each time: “Trick or treat?” , Decorated their bags were full of tasty treats, candies, chocolates and sweets of various kinds. Piles of masks abounded in shop windows , some were monstrous others were funny and nice . The dim lights of the street lamps lit up as soon as the road crowded with people . A lot of confusion enveloped the streets even on the darkest, saddest , up to my ears. I had turned into a fantastic bat . The wings of the fabric of my costume swayed slightly with each breath of wind and the black of my clothes were scattered in the air. My bag was abundant with sweets, they had a good flavor , white , tasty. The night was getting thicker by wrapping everything in its darkness and bringing out the lanterns that glowed in the pumpkins smiling or grinning .

The redbreast

You know, the winter days do not invite you to stroll outdoors. It ‘much better to sit in a comfortable chair in front of the warmth of the hearth, perhaps with a book and a fragrant herbal cap of tea.

From the window a look at the hills, the sky is gray. There is  air of snow!

And here it is! It’s the redbreast! The ancient symbol of the new year.

Jumps without fear on the ledge of the terrace in search of food, maybe cookie crumbs! It is really delicious!

If you feel too observed here it again for a quick it flight …

Then again, that its tics, insistent and repeated, as if to say … Hey! Hey! …. Here I am! I’m back! Two crumbs for me?

It’s funny the redbreast!

The reindeer Christmas

There is a red light in the sky
neither small nor large!

Watch looks a bit there?
A reindeer goes down.
Light is his nose,
seems to be made just satin!
That reindeer pulls a sled,
while the snow falls thick.

Oh, oh, oh! There’s also Santa Claus!
that we want to bring a gift!
Falls down the chimney,
when children go to bed.
Leave a gift under the tree,
and will be a nice surprise!

Happy Christmas to all!

Tribute to the pumpkin

I like the pumpkin, its consistency, its roundness in different forms and its vibrant colors.

Today there are still many doubts about the origins, the fact is that you, the pumpkin has always managed to find its own space in our midst.
Symbolizes abundance and fertility, prosperity and good health

Observing the impression of a vegetable with a strong and vigorous. In the growth phase clings, rises, is free and roving.

The pumpkin is considered a vegetable magic, appears in many legends it is said that in the past the giant, empty, they were used by sailors as buoys or floats for inexperienced swimmers.

It ‘an annual vegetable easy to grow, grows anywhere, even on poorer soils. Needs space and abundant and regular watering. While maintaining the dual nature of its flowers, it also brings about male flower and female flower, which together give rise to the through pollination.

In its various forms tickles curiosity and awakens the desire to discover what lies inside.

The pumpkin is a mine of minerals: Vitamin A, Iron, Potassium and Calcium, and a lot of fiber that make this vegetable a valuable natural product for our body.
