Happy Solstice!

And just because I can.... this post is going live at 10:42pm EDT.

We had some pretty nasty storms come thru my area Wednesday.  

Screenshot of a funny Facebook post from the folks in Hell, MI!

I've heard crickets really early this summer - and I saw a lightning bug getting a drink on my rain gauge this morning!

So I've been watching TSC's website for their H'ween stuff to go on sale.  Nothing yet.  

But I was successful with Cracker Barrel!

These actually just delivered today. 

They had a super cute haunted house blowmold, but by the time I heard about it, they were sold out.  But that's OK - I really like the headstone one, too!  

OMG - this bowl!  I have no idea what I'll do with it for now, but I'll put the candy in it on H'ween night. 

The can is for scale.

Please excuse the dirty patio table!

I made a trip to Michael's after work - I had a $10 coupon that expired today… and right across the street happens to be At Home!  

Someone posted some pics on the HalloweenForum and my eyes went straight to this blowmold!  

OMG!

No luck at the store by work, but I’ll make a trip to the one closer to my house this weekend and hope I can find one (or two)!!  If not… I’ll keep looking!

I did come home with things I didn’t know I needed until I saw them.

A longhorn cow????

Obviously it’s mine now.

Chuck now has a girlfriend.

I’ve actually been wanting the little bird nest.

I wasn’t sure if I’d find anything at Michael’s since they have some weird ‘collections’ out.  Last year with their pastels and this year’s pink stuff?

🤔

But I happily found nutcrackers!

And they're different!

I have several cats… because black cats!

But a dog??

Awesome!

Now that I’ve gotten a small fix of Code Orange I should be good for a while!  Or at least until I find my At Home blowmold or TSC puts their stuff on sale!
