It’s the first of Halloween!
So, let’s get this party started.
That dancing skeleton was one of many cool Halloween goodies I resisted purchasing, because I need to get rid of stuff, rather than bring in more.
Thus it was, I also passed on this bloody shirt ……
I actually could have used this knife holder all year round, but don’t have the counter space. So, I passed on it as well.
Body in a bag had me ROFLMAO, when I spotted it at Walmart. However, to put something like that in my patio display, when there is so much sickness and dying on the complex, would have been incredibly insensitive.
Already surprised I've not gotten into trouble for my skeleton, a body in a bag would for sure have gotten me evicted.
This murder cat vinyl wall decal was too cute to resist, so I bought it — but not for myself, a Halloween gift for a friend I thought might appreciate the humor.
I did spurge a little on the front door decor — dispensed with the candy corn wreath and mat I’ve displayed last few years, and this year moved over to the dark side, with an eerie twig wreath and headless horseman mat.

I really wanted a Wednesday Addams doormat, couldn't find one I liked, but I'm satisfied with the horseman.
Skelly the skeleton is comfortably seated on the patio, with his broom at the ready to escape, fly off the patio when triple digit heat returns this week.
Lastly, the pumpkin I won at bingo has been given a facelift with gauze and paint.

I did not intend the pumpkin to come out so gruesome. However, inasmuch as it is what it is, I now wish I’d put 45’s face on it, blackened and bloodies its eyes and mouth.
