I love halloween, and for over twenty years, I have been serving candies to the local ghosties and ghoulies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, I have been trying to do my part to make my street a destination for ghosties and ghoulies, including marquis and costumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past few years, inflatable decorations have become the rage in my area, and I’m no exception in having fallen for their charms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, things on my street have gone into overdrive; maybe some people have been organizing with each other unbeknownst to me, and maybe the pandemic has had people wanting to do *anything* to raise spirits, no pun intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first house to start decorating for Halloween started, best I could tell, on the last weekend of September. As of mid October, there are fourteen of the twenty two houses on the two block stretch I can see from my house (however, there is another block of street beyond my view, with some decorations too!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have taken pictures for your viewing pleasure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the furthest house I can just see from home, and they are also the most decorated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This haunted house is easily visible from my house, despite being at the second furthest house from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inflatables in this house have flickering lights, as well as other decorations on the other side of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ghost on this lawn is actually covering an old tree stump; there are also other decorations at the door on the side of the house, and in the windows out front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is another house needing two pictures for their decorations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This house has a piglet dressed as a witch inflatable, and a witch who can’t fly too well on her broom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure is this a Halloween decoration, or just a cute fall \/ harvest themed garden decoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the lawn at my house — a ghost, a headless person holding up a pumpkin, an x-ray pumpkin head person, a funny Frankenstein, a cute monster, another ghost, a happy witch, and<\/s> a frankenstein, and — UPDATED PHOTO 20211024 — a bat in the tree. Three<\/s> Four are new this year! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, so far<\/s> the last house on the street (I live on a cul-de-sac), this house has an alien visiting, and being a little confused as to whom the real locals are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
