Not mine; the cross-street neighbors... They really decorate for holidays.
The picture isn't great. My camera doesn't do well with little bright lights at night from a distance. But you can get the general idea. There are strings of small orange lights all around. There are 2 large inflatable pumpkins upper left. The bluish thing on the right is the head of a witch (otherwise draped in black). The upper middle thing is a ghost. The white light is just their sidewalk lamp.
I'm just going to put a regular pumpkin (carved with a cat face) on the front steps along with 4 small orange Mums I found cheap at Walmart. I'm just doing that for neighborhood friendliness. Kids don't do "trick or treating" anymore (around here at least).
I haven't had a knock at my door for almost 15 years. Actually, I almost never see kids playing outside at all. I know they exist here because when I am working in the front yard, I see the parents getting them into cars to take them hither and yon... But they don't play outside. I suppose outside (or "trick or treating") is just consider to dangerous these days.
I bet if you asked a kid about kickball or tag, they wouldn't even know what you were referring to. But that's really a subject for a future post.
But anyway, I always have a box of Lindt truffles around for an occasional treat, so if some kid did knock on the door at Halloween, I can oblige...
