#CountdownToHalloween2026 - HaPpyHaLLoWeeN!!!



Chickens!
The random orange extension cord....
I confess that I'm not happy with the lights at all this year.  We didn't put things away well last year and couldn't find things when we needed them.

I don't like the purple rope lights in front of the fence.  I may have used orange out there the last few years, but it looks cooler. 
The orange rope lights in front of the house look neat. tho. 
2 of my spotlights crapped out so it's also very blue. 
The deer stands out nicely all lit up. 
This was the first time we've had the firepit in the driveway, too. 
It was convenient for when the grandkids came back after trick or treating and cooked hotdogs over the coals!
I swear the Spawn is only expecting one more little rugrat, so ignore the 2 little ghost jols!
The farm stand we stopped at had pumpkins buy one, get one free so we ended up with more than what we needed!

#CountdownTohalloween2026 - Happy Halloween Eve!!!


Here's the daytime walkthru!
Can you believe there's like NO leaves in the yard???
And we haven't gotten rain for weeks and the temps were in the 60s.
These 4' guys are getting so fragile!  
I didn't think they were going to make it. 
That orange extension cords needs a shot of spray paint.  
It also glows in black light. 
I got those flowers from the dollar store - wondering if they'd glow. 
They do. 
When you're not sure what to do with a skeleton?
He gets to relax. 
I still love my turkeys.
