The windows mummy is no more this year, but I did get a neat black skeleton with lit eyes to hang on the front door tonight. I also got a cheap purple spider web that I was hoping to cover from awning to bottom rail but it was way too windy to try and set that up, so it'll be put away for next year. A flickering flame porch light and a couple squat pumpkins would round out our Halloween look this year.
I had a good day with some Halloween celebrations at work, then getting ready for trick-or-treaters at home. We'd had great weather the last few days. I was even able to wear shorts and sandals out and about the last couple days, but today was to be different.
It had been windy recently with a couple nice warm days, but today was more windy, sustained winds 15-20 mph with gusts that can stop you in your tracks. Thankfully that's easing off a bit tonight, but we've also gotten so much colder with this front coming in. By morning we'll be near freezing with barely a breeze.
Despite the weather, we had a few more trick-or-treaters than last year, but still only 14 by my count. We shut it down before 8 tonight, more than a half hour since the last ones. Gave out less than half of the candy we had, so now we have that problem, too. Happy Halloween, everyone.
