One Day to Ghouls

 It’s the day before Halloween which means our work begins in earnest. We don’t put out our Halloween stuff until the day of so they don’t get pillaged.

We carved most of our pumpkins last night and we’ll finish up the last two tonight.

So far today, we have raked the front yard to get the latest wave of leaves and chestnuts up. Now we are bringing out some of our basic display props and I’m going to pound in the stakes for our fence. We will probably hang a couple of our ghouls in the trees and then tonight we will unload the rest of the Halloween props from the Carriage House.

Okay, it’s almost noon. Time to get back to work.

4:00PM: We got quite a bit accomplished. All the stuff I described above. Mark is coming over shortly to help us bring down all the craft pumpkins and tombstones.

We have some friends coming over tomorrow afternoon to help us put all the displays out. Then they will hang around for the Halloween festivities and enjoy a little party afterwards.
