Speaking of Halloween decorations, there are a few new stunning decorations this year. One neighbor always has some unique geometric Christmas decorations, but this year he's started at Halloween with a giant spider web anchored in the ground and climbing all the way to above the roof line. The spider is roughly 1 foot in diameter.
Another home has at least half a dozen of those blow-up monsters, one probably 10 feet tall. The yard looks like something from a monster movie graveyards.
By the way, tell me where to go to get See's Candies- they're just so good!
GardenArtist,
I just love the eye in the little morning glory, it is from 3 years ago also-is it a petrified scary eye? Nice!
PLEASE POST IF ON THIS THREAD TO BE SEEN BY ALL.
Will you be handing out See's candies at the Hoca?
Looking back on this thread....
Some punkins are a repeat, and that's okay!
Yours is great! This is the 3rd year. A marker of how time just flies by!
Dessert is good Cwillie. But I have recently discovered 99¢ burritos in the refrigerator case at the store. Makes a quick, or quicker than quick meal, for those times when one just can't...or when I eat alone.
GA, Don't try pureeing burritos at home, poor Dad! They are not all that good even, but sometimes when we get busy, who has time to eat?
All my pumpkins are on my old computer; I'd have to get it out, search the art work, and find a pumpkin. I think I'll be lazy instead and just puree some food for Dad.
My Saturday is cold and wet, but no snow yet (thank goodness)
Is that the Cookie Monster hiding?
Cute!
What does your Saturday look like?
Here is just one pumpkin avatar. You all know that I will change mine often.
Going to find my broom now.......ha ha ha.....makes creepy sound of a screech owl.
On October 29-31st., please post here so your avatar will show up collectively on this party posting!
As to scary stories, I'm not sure I could compete with the scary stories being posted daily about the political shenanigans! No ghosties running around in sheets, but some of the characters are more scary than the most malevolent ghosts.
Some years ago a correspondent friend said she made ghosts of red sheets for Halloween. When asked why the sheets were red, she said they were "ghosts of Russian Communism past." That was just after the USSR had devolved or evolved, depending on interpretation, into a different governmental configuration.
I've been mulling over creating a ghost with floppy orange hair but I'm afraid I might be reported and disappear from the face of the earth.
Was I supposed to save some scones? Will there be any left? Yum, they do look good. I think the difference between scones and biscuits is in the scone recipe, adding sugar, but not all that expensive to make, vs. $2.50 + at designer coffee stores. Asking someone who bakes might help.
So happy to see you here.
Was thinking we could also tell some scary stories, some are real happenings as of late.
So, everyone, get your pumpkin on, you are welcome here!
AGINGSCARE 2017 has just opened.
Bring your pumpkin avatars, caregivers!
Love you all!
