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.
That skellingotn is much less scaray than the mummy from previous years. Thankfully! Glad you had a good time.

Missing the Mummy, that was really cool. The Skeletons eyes are good. I hope you had a good evening and enjoy the sweets!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I figured the black against the purple would look good. Yes, I thought it would be easier to replace the mummy but couldn't find anything big enough to cover the front window.
