Since it's May I thought I'd write a post on Halloween decorating. It will serve to show that not all things are a calamity at the H. H. homestead and also to be obstreperous. We have several skeletons outside and skull masks inside which are year-round fixtures. These don't count as projects, they are merely part of the scenery. For several years, I covered a topiary of a child with a sheet to make it ghostly. We also had a life -size, store bought Grim Reaper which greeted guests for a couple of Halloweens. However, every few years we go all out and create a full blown display for the All Hallow's Eve season. One year my gal came up with the idea of Halloween scarecrows. Using a bale of straw, some fabric candy bags and thrift store clothes we created a couple out for a stroll with their pooch. Compliments about our work came in several forms, but the best was whenever a neighborhood dog barked at the trio!
