You won’t be surprised to learn that half a block before I get to this house, the smell of pot permeates the air.
Kids, beware!

Ha
Right? It’s HUgE.
Wow ~ Dramatic! There is a scarecrow playing the banjo around the corner from me 🙂
Funny!
yikes I hope it’s not on Elm Street!
Umm…not just kids. That scares me!
But was it GOOD pot?
A funky earthy smell. What do I know?
now that’s cool … what a wild imagination!
And the bike lights up
As Halloween comes near, you can hear me going about cackling, “something wicked this way comes” (witches refrain from Macbeth) I like witches, think some are in my bloodline…
When I used to decorate for Halloween, I always had huge corn stalks and a little stool by our front door. Sitting on the stool was a witch that I created out of an old long sleeved black dress. She had red and white stocking legs with curled up shoe made from black garbage bags, I used cardboard to make the shapes of the shoes; a pointy witches hat sat on her shoulders but where was her head…? Well one of her arms (long sleeves stuffed with straw) held her head which was made out of a pumpkin. Loads of green yarn with a few tufts of corn silk became her hair, I drew on her evil eyes, bat wing eyebrows, used real red lipstick to create her bloody mouth and the best bit was a long green chile pepper for her nose topped with a raisin to mimic a wart!
This year, I am not willing to open the door to trick or treaters ; yesterday New Mexico had over 1,000 covid cases and 14 deaths… Still this new neighborhood has a lot of kids and I want them to enjoy some treats if they are out and about on Halloween. To that end, I have created a little sign that I will place on an outdoor table with a basket of bagged treats. I found a marvelous clip art witch, green gown, red hair, jaunty witches hat stirring a black cauldron loaded with green foamy broth, wicked eyeballs and squirmy things poking out of the rim. I wrote a little ditty that says:
“Witches, ghosts and bats are out tonight…
Here come trick or treaters, a scary sight!.
Goblin wishes that you all have safe and spooky fun,
Enjoy this treat, please take one.
Happy Halloween”
We will see how this goes…!
I LOVE the creation of your witch. I think we may do the same. The door bell ringing all night shreds Finn’s nerves anyway.
