HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween, from our spooky house to yours! I thought I would share a few pics of our outdoor decorations today, and I had a little fun with Pic Monkey while I was at it!

I often wonder if people think: "There's The Crazy Cat Lady House" as they're walking or driving past our house during the month of October! I decorate "cute", with pumpkins and black cats, instead of gory. Lots of cats up on the porch railing, strolling along "Black Cat Crossing" this year!

Another black cat, in the garage windowbox!

Still more cats, this one by the back door.

The back porch.

I didn't realize Cupcake was watching me the whole time, until I uploaded the previous pic! I have a feeling that she's wondering what's the deal with all of the cats out there, and why can't she be out there too! 

A vintage plantstand, full of sparkly pumpkins.

I guess this is more Fall than Halloween, but there is a crow lurking in the background. If you've ever seen Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, you know how a couple of birds can lead to total chaos. I remember having nightmares after seeing that movie! 

More Fall decorations. When I bought that picnic basket, I remember thinking that even though the red had faded to orange, it would work perfectly with the Fall decorations. So I packed it away in the shed,  and that's how I have so much junk! 

Recent flea market/estate sale finds.

The only indoor Halloween decorations I managed this year. I recently brought home that movie from my Mom's house. I remember when my Dad would put that movie on the old projector, it was equal parts terror and excitement. That spider is HUGE! 

Our pumpkin, carved by our very artistic and talented daughter Liz. I think she could tell that I'm obsessed with owls this year! I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween! It looks like it's going to rain all day and night here, so I guess we won't get alot of trick or treaters. We usually have 100+ kids come to the door, so it's looking like we will be returning candy to the store. Tricked Ya!! I've already called dibs on the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and the Twizzlers! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
