There have been changes around here and I'm still not too sure exactly how I feel about it so I'm going to continue taking a break from blogging through the end of the year, I think. Nothing for anyone to worry about, though. I'll write more in due time.
Thank you.
Was a good night for it, but got colder soon after dark. Here you can also see some of the work on neighbor Dave's house, where the inside is gutted and now a new re-pitched roof. Lots of happenings around here, not sure how much I want to talk about it yet, though. Real life needs doing, not writing.
Happy post-Halloween, everyone. It was mostly a quiet night around here, so thankfully I got only about a third of the candy we had last year. We got just 9 trick-or-treaters this year, but were only one of 3 houses on the block that I noticed had their lights on. The last two kids were growing mustaches and it was pretty cold so I shut it down about 7:00. It barely got above freezing yesterday with occasional light snow flurries off and on all day for our first snow of the year, though it didn't stick.
I carved a pumpkin again to display on the front steps last night, and today it is on the stump in back waiting to be ravaged by the squirrels and rabbits. I have the trail camera aimed in that direction but I got a pretty good video of it getting eaten bit by bit last year. The mummy in the windows was showing wear on the fold seams, and I was getting tired of it so this was the last year for that. I also pulled out the mask with the moving mouth LED lights to wear again but that wasn't working right so is also in the trash now.
We had a good run, but I'm not sure I'll do so much next year. It doesn't seem worth it for just a handful of kids so maybe just candy next year, and maybe the flickering flame light bulb again, too, since I have it just for this holiday. Hope you had fun if you chose to celebrate.
