Halloween Decorations
         I just filled the dining room mantle with metal spiders, real mini pumpkins, scarecrows, and one ceramic jack-o-lantern. There's a bat and a ghost hanging under the mantle. I don't have that many kids visiting, so I guess it's just for me. I have short scarecrows in the windows and a haunted house in the kitchen over the big window. The living room has a dancing Mickey Mouse wizard on the coffee table. He's the one decoration that's meant to played with. I have a burlap pumpkin on the end table, and a carved wooden pumpkin down in the foyer with seasonal color flowers.

         Outside I have a large ceramic jack-o-lantern (Kroger sold a ton of them last year). We have scarecrows in front and back, left from trying to keep the woodchucks and the deer from eating all the plants. They didn't do their job, so now they get Halloween duty. And I have my potted mums from last year showing their white, yellow and brownish blooms.

         The cars in the driveway block the outdoor view because of the weird layout of our yard. My 92 year old dad likes to clown around by posing with the scarecrows or the elephant ears (plants) for photos. Sometimes he enlists one of his great-grands, and we have two clowns. We don't usually get many trick or treaters because of the wooded feel and the distance between driveways. The pandemic will probably prevent all tricks or treats, so we will have the candy all to ourselves.
