One of our neighbors is slowly building up for Halloween! Fun to watch

First just the skeleton, then added the pup.

Cool! And how cute — all the hands in the yard! I love Halloween!

We don’t have a skeleton, but we have a neighbor who does. We have an inflatable dragon!

Hubby has suggested that we get a skeleton and pose it like it’s petting the dragon!

This is a pic from last year — I was passing out “Scouting For Food” bags in our neighborhood, and I couldn’t resist getting a selfie! The smaller skelly was a new addition.

I've got some Halloween solar lights outside and a few decorations inside. I have to get out and grab some pumpkins in the next couple weeks. That's about the extent of my decorating, but I do love this time of year.

We are far enough off the road, never get anybody, and no decorations can be seen.

So do nothing.

Nobody comes to our hood either. 5 houses w/no kids in here and everyone out there does not want to walk this far to get the goods.

I used to.

Had some neat big spiders. Someone borrowed them. No more spiders.

After years of zero kids, no spiders, just stopped.

We decorate, but where our house is located, have a good bunch of kiddos in our neighborhood, but we are in the back part, on a corner, and in a circle. We don’t get a lot of doorbell visitors. A few years ago we started setting up our chairs in the driveway, sometimes dressing up, and passing out candy. Hubby and I are just a couple of kids at heart!

Yeah I was at the depot I love the mr and mrs scarecrow and the pup but at 200 a piece when I don't get any trick or treaters so for 600 bucks I'll be a party pooper.
I use to go all out I had a flat roof on my garage at an old home that had a huge maple overhanging both the garage a walk way. I had a bungee cord and a harness I dressed like grim deeper or a ghost and jumped off the roof infront of OLDER KIDS I learned quickly it was a little too much for youngins ( my bad)
Then i got a wedgy from hell i'll never forget and I went to a spider on a fishing pole that I just lowered from the roof. Which actualy worked just as well. And no wedgy.
