My Neighborhood is Haunted

 My neighborhood is haunted.
Here are the last of this year's images for y'all.
One street in particular is amazing.
House after house is lit up and spooky.
It is Henley Street in Glenview if you want to drive by, if you are local.
 Boo
 Boo
 Wink
 See Dracula is dead
 
A couple of houses have these lights that throw witches and ghosts across the garage...very cool

I've yet to have a candy bar. 
Oh Butterfinger
Oh Baby ruth
how I love thee 

What's your favorite Halloween candy?

Wow!!! Ya'll do it up right!
I am very ashamed to admit that I am a big candy corn fan. Yes, I know. It's awful but every bite is a trip to Halloweens past. I can't do without it. Happy haunting!

They go all out! Is it this way at Christmas, too? I like salty, sweet combos, so Reese's Peanut Butter Cup is a favorite.

Oh that is a VERY hard question! It would be a toss up between Kit Kat or Three Muskateers.

But I haven't had a candy bar in a very, VERY long time. Being diabetic I have to be very selective about my treats and candy doesn't check in very high on my list.

I cannot get over the amount of festivity and decoration your neighborhood goes through for Halloween. Do you guys rock it like this for Christmas as well? I don't really eat Halloween Candy Bars anymore, but I had a Whatchmacallit recently and that was spectacular. I like to make candybar cookies with leftover Halloween Candy. hehe.

Oh, gosh. This me laugh because I *just* dipped into the Halloween candy (hehe). I'm eating a BabyRuth as I type this. I love that your neighborhood really gets into the spirit of things. Halloween is a big deal in New England, too. Our town has a huge parade on the last Sunday of October. And, of course, Salem (of the infamous witch trials) is just up the road. BIG haunted happenings there.

It's hard to narrow down to one favorite, but I can tell you what I HATED when I was trick-or-treating: peanut butter taffy wrapped in black or orange wax paper. It must have been the cheapest candy, because lots of people gave it out.

(My face is honest-to-goodness squinching up as I type this.)

Might have to take a look on my way home.

I haven't had a candy bar-- can't be said about chocolate chip cookies that I made for my parents yet decided to keep for my husband and I. I figured we both needed it since there has been a lot of stress in our lives lately.

Not quite decorated like that around me but I do see many neighborhoods between my place and my parents that are quite decorated.

Your neighborhood is definitely decked out for the holiday.

My favorite candy is Skor but a Heath bar is good, too.

 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...
