First light this morning.
As you can tell I had already been at it for some time…
A pumpkin creeper body, waiting for a head.
Couple more hanging off the fence.
So, day’s end.
Front back together, and torches posted.
I got this panicked moment when I realized that, with the gazebo broken this year, I had no way to get the chords across the path. Raven grass is my answer. I planted this stuff specifically for use on Halloweens, but hadn’t planed on using it this year. I’ll tie the tops of it I have posted to either side of the fence there to make an arch, and presto, chord up and over. (In about 2-3 years, I’ll have LOTS of this grass)
I’m not a HUGE fan of the scarecrows, but it’s the clothes I could find in short order. (mostly cast aways from my son)
‘The orchard’ area. I’ve decided we’ll hang some lanterns and spray some webs in these trees.
Fred on his spit.
Fred seems to get better with age…(now 3 years old)
The fence creepers. I was out fiddling, trying to get them on after dark. Torches lit to see what I was doing, and get a feel for things. A car was stopped in the street watching as I plugged these in and I just hear a “holy crap that’s cool” waft out from the window.
The pumpkinhead scarecrow to honor the picture that started all this.
Sorry it’s blurry, but I’m using the point and shoot sans tripod. Testing the battery tea lights I bought. Should work great.
Even the crappy ‘crows look half decent in the dim torchlight.
Everything looks like it’s coming together nicely (sans all the setbacks). And the voice wafting from the car is right, your yard is “cool!”
And Luckily Hayden doesn’t seem to be phased by any of it this year. 🙂
Looking great! Looking forward to seeing the finished pictures.
Cheers!
