Neighborhood Fright Night

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

I brought my camera along on my evening walk tonight and decided I'd take a few shots of some of the neighborhood homes.

MoonInTrees        My Projector

The two shots above were taken in my yard. The ghost and pumpkin are being projected by a heavy duty projector I picked up at a thrift store.

Eagles HouseNannys

The house on the left was scary because that light up in the window is a Eagles fan sign. The house on the right is a daycare and they usually have a yard full of decorations no matter what the season.

Lightning HouseWhat I liked about the one above was the lightning on the right. It changed regularly and was very realistic.

I enjoy seeing all the homes decorated for the holidays. 

I am going to miss the one that is usually the best in White Pine.  Usually open to the public but this year they are not open.

Hi Bob "RealMan" Timm .  Halloween was one of my favorite holidays as a child. Unfortunately, the subdivision my husband and I live in has no solicitation and gates which lock at 7 pm which keep kids out on Halloween.  But those "ghosts" you show in your photos are now in our town in very prominent locations.

Morning Bob.

The candy is bought, the lights will be on.  If this season is like the one last year, I better go buy some more goodies

I enjoy seeing them too Rose Mary Justice and I'd like to decorate more myself but who has room to store all that stuff?

I am sorry to hear that Rose Mary Justice but I'm very happy to hear that they still bring joy to your heart to see them.

  I have to admit I have one outside shed with Christmas decorations that I am no longer using.  Health problems and change of heart prevents me from decorating.  I still love to see them,  but no longer participate.

If the weather cooperates we may have a good turn out James Dray and I hope we do, it's a lot of fun to see the kids all dressed up.

They sure do William Feela . I try to do a little for each but I remember how "all out" my mom used to go for Christmas... it was beautiful.

How fun, I have a few pumpkins scattered around a string of jack-o-lantern lights in a big basket, other than that, I don't do much else. I do see many houses with wonderful outdoor decor. The other day I drove by a house where tiered shrubs and greenery had large eyes peering out - perhaps 15 - 20 pairs - the result was pretty effective.

I don't know if it is my imagination, but I have noticed far more Halloween decoration this year in my community than usual.  And, I have enjoyed the creativity of it all.

That sounds cool Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD . My decorating is minimal but I still enjoy it.

I don't think it's you imagination Myrl Jeffcoat I think more and more people are participating as decorations become more interesting and affordable.

I like the lightening as well. I've never seen that but it would be fun with a sound system to go with it. 

My neighbors also have one of the air-inflated ghosts like the daycare has. My dog hates that thing and barks like crazy when she is out front and sees it!

Thanks for the chuckle about your dog Libby Cousins . I never thought about the lightning and a sound system... I've got a couple of extra sub-woofers around that would be fun to hook up for that purpose.

Almost as many homes decorate for Halloween as for Christmas. The inflatables are the most popular and come to life after dark.
