Susan had 16 of the cutest kids at storytime this past week!
They colored foam pumpkins, read books about pumpkins and Halloween and each child got his or her own little pumpkin.
The next storytime is at 10 a.m. Nov. 18 and will be about Thanksgiving.
Remember, next Tuesday, Oct. 27 is the last day to turn in the coloring sheets for the Halloween coloring contest.
The library was recently given two copies of “O Is For Oil” by Susan Jacobs. This is the third book in the series done for children by the Oklahoma Energy Resource Board. These are such good books and explain about petroleum.
We were also given “Mountain Splendor” by W. Phillip Keller, “American Greats” by Robert A. Wilson and “Ansel Adams: Landscapes of the American West” by Lauris Morgan-Griffiths.
I finally took all my hummingbird feeders down after not seeing any birds for a couple of weeks. My sister, who lives out of Madill, still has some hummers daily so she still has hers up.
Aren’t the trees turning the most beautiful colors this year! I guess all the rain we have had helps them. I know some years we are so dry the leaves die before they turn, but not this year. Take time to drive around town and see them.

‘War Horse’ gallops away with enamored audience
There may be some confusion among the top critics none of us pay any mind to on what films deserve the highest accolades as award season progresses, but as far as I’m concerned, a certain equestrian title is making a pretty strong case itself.

‘Tintin’ may be unsinkable come award time
There’s something to the idea that animation movie makers may have better figured out the art of story telling and could certainly teach a majority of their peers in the live action arena how to weave a plot.

‘The Muppets’ welcome in sentimental return
While bias is a position I try to leave to the talking heads of television, every now and again I come across a film I anticipate so much it’s hard for it to disappoint.

‘Chipwrecked’ floats better than first sequel
When it comes to the three most recognized singing rodents this side of the milky way galaxy, one wouldn’t think the term gimmick would be anything more than description as usual.

‘Holmes: Game of Shadows’ wows in witty sequel
Though I could be struck down by the critic gods at any moment, one thing Hollywood seems to get right more than when I was growing up is the art of the sequel.

As someone who has witnessed the best and worst video games have had to offer since ET almost killed consoles in the early years, I consider my range of terrible rankings to be rather flexible.
