Haunted Neighborhood

 

The closer we got to Halloween, the more "creepy" decoration appeared in my neighborhood. Some were very creative like in the setting above that displays an entire scene. But I noticed that this year there were dominantly skeletons on display. I wonder what had happened to the ghosts that used to "roam" our neighborhood in October.

The above scene is across from our neighborhood market and therefore I pass it pretty often. It seemed to me that I either hadn't noticed everything before or things were added to this scene over the last few days. I don't think they will get full from their barbecue...

I have to admit, the rattlesnake - or what is left of it - made me laugh.

I'm not sure I would appreciate a welcome committee like this one.

Were they playing ball with the skull and just got tired of it, in need for a break?

At least this pair had the decency to throw on some clothes.

And I fear these witches aren't up for anything good.

Finally I found some friendly ghosts. Hurray! Not all is lost.

Of course you all know what comes after Halloween - Día de Muertos. Even I own a Talavera Frida catrina.

You know who will love all these skulls? Nicole for her Friday Face Off.

And at the end, the sweetest Halloween face of them all. Little Franklin, my friends Matt and J's little rescue dog. Isn't he a cutie?

Happy Halloween, everyone!
