We had a graceful string of purple lights and were one of two lit houses on a short block. We had 102 trick or treaters. I was surprised because it was quite chilly, almost winter-time cold.

Some people around here go wild with Halloween decorations - lights, skeletons, inflatable ghosts, plastic pumpkins - all in the same yard. One day while we were out driving, the DH let out a big guffaw. Somebody had crossed two realms and put up a skeleton of a flamingo.
