Autumn has blown into Ashland with a light rain and a cool breeze. Hmmmm, smells fresh and clean. Makes me want to get cozy and read a book!

It was absolutely downright splendid to see all of you Pirates out and about for our "Talk Like A Pirate" treasure hunt September 19th! Avast me hearties! Thar was a load of pirate-speak amongst ye thar was! Our Tree House facebook page has some great photos of some of you scurvy dogs, thanks to our Pirate-girl Friend, Michelle Corrine. Thanks Michelle!

A fiesty black-hearted thank you to my dear cohorts-in-whimsy goes out to Gypsy Queen Cynthia Salbato and Capn' Finn Moondrake Dave Nichols. Shiver Me Timbers!
