Happy Halloween!


I didn't do any decorating this year for Halloween as generally no one comes to our place. The Gargoyle was a new photo I did yesterday when the storms moved in. 

The rest below are from years past.





When I decorated the woods out back with creepy ghosts and Twana Stick figures...



Happy Halloween if you celebrate it.

Halloween seems to be falling out of favour here. I see very few houses decorated.

In our town which is 10 miles away, there were a lot of houses decorated and lots of activities for kids. In our rural area where there are only 5 houses in a 3 mile radius, there are are not many children.
One of the farms even had a Dia de los Muertos celebration that was really quite popular.

Those photos are fantastic!. We also have never had kids out here. It was a very busy night when we lived in St. Paul.

With this weather, I am staying inside and...what else??? I'm getting out my spooky creatures to photograph. It is a perfect dark, rainy, nasty day!

Despite my posts of other people's decor, all we do is put corn stalks on our porch posts (this lasts from Sept through Thanksgiving) and I put pillow covers on my porch pillows. I do have several expensive mums that sit out since the elementary school keeps selling them and I still have way too many grandchildren in elementary school. I will have about 5 more years of mums, but hopefully the number I have to purchase drops.

Happy Halloween! We turned cold today barely above freezing, I hear the cities got snow...good for them:)

On the ridge yesterday they had 50+ mph winds which blew corn stalks right off from people's places! It was wild.
I do love mums and I had some for a couple of years. They seemed not to make it over winter!

I saw that! We might get up to 40 today.

Those dolls, eeek!! Old dolls have always given me the creeps.

I purchased the dolls at a resale flea market and then painted them creepy!.😳

LD.....We too did not celebrate this year. A friend gave us a fancy pumpkin. I didn't want to sit outside in the cold this year to hand out candy for two years. I do miss seeing my neighbor boys but I can see them out the back window.
