this guy and his cat
the jack sparrow pirate from the carribean type
of the skeleton world
hat tilted back
a bit of drink
to keep him hydrated
his jolly roger
may have flown somewhere in france
welcomes all
relaxed and confident
not bothered by anything
seen his share of scraps
even being in a giant web
only having one foot
no hands
a cat with an eye patch
sitting on deck
of my daughter’s porch.
now, this mixed family
skeleton parents and dog
kids and clowns of all kinds
all ages and stages
everyone welcome
they do not discriminate
lots of hugs for all
love everyone to be at the party
outdoorsy types.

love my neighborhood
all are welcome

These are great Halloween decorations! I would love living in your neighborhood too, Beth. Once a year, we walk to another neighborhood because their decorations are to die for……

Just chilling with the cat. I’m so impressed by the Halloween decorations in our city. Sadly, we live at the end of a private drive, so we rarely get any trick-or-treaters.

I find the whole halloween thing strange. We don’t do it here, though the younger generations are trying hard to make it work. lol
