Countdown to All Hallows Eve - Nine Days To Go

With the completion of the Living Room, we can now move on to the next most pressing issue facing us. Halloween!

With nine days to go, we have hardly decorated at all. People are starting to wonder.

Now that the furniture is back in the Living Room, and all the crap that has been packed into the Dining Room is cleared out, Susan has started laying out her decorations in the house. She completed a major goal today and had the carpets cleaned.

The white one in the Living Room has been rolled up for the past nine months so it was in pretty good shape. 

But the red one in the Dining Room has had nine months of sitting under a covered Dining table, with cats lolling about the place and barfing all around. It was in bad shape. But it sure looks good now.

My efforts to Halloweenize the house have included getting the posts out in the front yard for the flying ghosts, and getting some lights up on the house. I've also got the skeleton hanging from the noose upstairs.

*Because I am a well known environmentalist, always concerned for the well being of the planet and my impact on it, (*Text in italics should be considered sarcastic.) I have started replacing outside lights with L.E.D. bulbs. These bulbs have finally technically caught up with the basic desire of the light bulb consuming public in that they can dim. They are still wildly expensive and the lights classified as "Daylight" emit a tone of light that Emergency Room Technicians would covet.

This picture of the new bulb over the back door does not do the light justice. It actually looks pretty good here. 

Anyway, I have written today's date on the bulb and we shall see how far the $18.95 I spent on it shall go. It had better last at least two years (and more five) or I'm going to get even more sarcastic.
