Just a few items

The Princess and I put up our Halloween decorations today. Just a few items. An orange lighted pumpkin on the window next to our front door. A string of 5 pumpkins that are on stakes in the rock area leading to our front door. Pumpkins. Just orange lighted pumpkins. No ghosts. No bones. No skulls. No spiders.

Our neighbor across the street put his decorations up last week. Last year, he had no decorations. This year? Uh....he kind of went overboard. He's got a large orange lighted spiderweb on the archway leading to his front door. He's got 2 lighted pumpkins on the ledge at his front window. That front window also has an orange string of lights around it. There are 5 'grave-markers' in his front yard that have blue-spot lights on them at night. There are two large spiders flanking his garage door. All this compared to nothing last year.

But we've got some lighted woven branch veggies inside our house. I've got two lighted pumpkins on our family room ledge and a lighted pear above one of our kitchen cabinets. These suckers are on timers, so we don't need to touch them until we need to take them down. And since these things are "fruit" and not Halloween specific items, then we can keep them up ALL the way to Christmas! Woohoo!

Now do your neighbors have a bunch of Halloween decorations up? Do you?
