Must be doing something right. I was sitting down to the writing desk minutes ago when I started hearing a barking outbreak outside. Two different dogs were flipping out at two separate figures I already have up on the perimeter of the yard. One is that Lady in Black (as I call her) I posted up here a month or two back. She is between two bushes along a corner of the yard that sees a lot of traffic. The other is a Spirit Halloween girl ghost sitting on a swing I have dangling from a tree on a corner that sees even more foot and car traffic. When I looked out, a poor doggo was right there by the swing girl, apprehensively looking up at her.

Going to stick these bad boys on low poles along the walk-up. Probably add a few plastic skulls on the ground and on poles, too. If the whole scene comes together like I imagine it (it never does) this will look very eerie.

Here's the wreath my sister made for my door. I love it. Looks like the skeleton is surfing the wreath.

Surfin' Dead, as it were.

That was a bunch of fun! The haunt was down due to the pandemic, and then when they were going to return a year or so ago, the guy who runs it hurt his back. So, it was great to see it back and looking fantastic as ever. My only complaint was the group we were a part of were practically sprinting through while I wanted to get better looks at everything. First time I visited Purgatorium I was point, this time we were the caboose. We lagged behind the main group the whole time. The group going through behind us would have been fun. They were screaming their bloody heads off the whole time and literally came running and stumbling out of the haunt exit.

It's probably a good thing the dog isn't over here yet. The cat's been looking at me like I've lost my frickin' mind (due to me rushing around in circles, gathering up Halloween crap).

The cat's been looking at me like I've lost my frickin' mind . They ain't wrong. Yeah, and it's not really like it's a new thing. I think her attitude is, "Well, it feeds me. I'll just stay out from underfoot in that one part of the year when it goes all loopy."
Two nice Halloween tidbits today. I just gave a nice young lady from Nextdoor a bunch of Halloween junk. She brought her auntie, who's as big a freak for Halloween as me, along with her kid and a niece and we went through my bins of decorations for stuff for her yard. They did pay me, but for me it just felt good babbling with other Halloween enthusiasts in person, and the money was a tenth what it all was worth.
Also, it looks from the long-range our weather here will be decent for the week leading up to the 31st! That's my green light to go ahead on the Carport of Horror! Bwah-Ha-Ha-Ha!!!

Of course the extender hose I bought for the new 700 watt fogger fits 1200 watt and 400 watt.
