More Halloween Fun

By -
 I was surprised that so many of you don't get to enjoy Halloween Decor in your area. 
So here are some more images from my neighborhood.
 This family has made their front lawn a grave yard for years.   It takes them weeks.  They add a car accident with skeletons driving the vehicle.  Kids come from all around to see their spooky house lawn.
Every once in a while I have the itch to head over to our stables and see the horses and riders.  They had a small competition going on on Sunday and the ring was decorated in flowers and pumpkins.


I did not knit one stitch yesterday.  I looked at many patterns though, because I want a new project. 
Haven't found it yet. 
 
The Cubs better win tonight.....
that's all I can bear to say....
No tricks about it.
Treat us to a win!

Are they still playing? I know an Illinois friend was really bummed about their recent loss and is now rooting for the Toronto Blue Jays since her husband is from Canada. I put out a few Halloween decorations around the house yesterday. Definitely no public displays here.

Here in Florida, I think we depend on the lawn decorations to tell us what season it is. The weather sure won't do it. LOL

I love spending time around horses. Unfortunately, I don't get to ride very often. It is super expensive.

Every time I watch the Cubs or someone talks about them, I think of you! I am one of those people that lives in a non decorative area. I am grateful for your fun and festive photos!

A few people decorate their yards here with huge inflatable objects and lights. I just think what goes up must ultimately come down and be stored, and often in nasty weather. I prefer nature's decorations.

I'm going to stop watching the Cubs because they lose every time I watch.

We have a graveyard in our neighborhood too. I watched them put it together and it took a lot of time and hard work. I'm sending them a note to thank them for their contribution to the neighborhood!

I haven't done any knitting for a week because we have had son and DIL here from Chicago. If I don't get back to the blanket the baby will be here before I finish.

We used to have a big Halloween to-do in town but the city council voted against it this year. They also voted NOT to put the Christmas lights in the trees on the road by my house which makes me VERY upset.
Oh, man........my Echo just told me the Cubs are trailing. Fingers crossed.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
