less than 50 days!

This sign will be going out onto the fence tonight!  

I just learned last night that it's just a paper sticker stuck to a sheet of metal, so I'm really surprised it's lasted as long as it has!  A couple touch ups on the red & black and a coat of sealant and it's ready to go for another year!

The burning bush in my yard is exploding with color! 
Oooooo - I stayed home from work last Friday (the Grandson started kindergarten on August 26 and already brought the plague home and gave it to me!) and got a text from my manager with just a photo....
Of course the Spouse & I made a Saturday trip to the office to go get it...
Chuck for scale.....

It's my giant pig!!
I almost gave up on getting Pork Chop (that's her name!) from Halloween Express, since it was back & forth between out of stock and on backorder.  But I'd still go check there and on Oriental Trading once in a while.  So when I saw it was actually in stock for sale - I jumped on it!  And held my breath until I saw the order confirmation email.  Once I actually ordered it, it delivered really fast - in like 3 days.
My mailbox guard.  This cicada sat there for a couple days, too.

So the plan this weekend is to start getting stuff out of storage and staging it on the patio.

Oooo and also - my last post must have gotten some divine attention because my search & rescue team's director sent a message that same day to the team asking if anyone was interested in Halloween Camp!  
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Of course, so far all the info I have is the date - the first weekend in October.  
But at least I know it's still on for this year! 
Birthday gift t-shirt from my manager - I love it!
