Halloween Twenty-Eighteen

7:58AM: Halloween is not starting out on a positive note. It is raining. It has been raining all night and continues into the morning. Even if it stops for the evening, it is going to be wet and sloppy out there.

The good news for me is that I may not even have to bother with the Flying Ghost. Wetness is the enemy of the Flying Ghost. We shall see how it goes.

11:37AM: Progress is progressing slowly in the yard. The rain stopped and it's not as wet out as I thought. 

I have successfully achieved a working flying ghost, although it has been paired down to single flying ghost between two posts rather than three.

Susan had to run in to work for a couple hours this morning but she has returned and she and her cousin, Louise and prepping food. I'm getting out ladders and some of the decorations. 

3:00PM: Everything is coming together.

We are operating smoothly and we will be ready for the throngs by 4:30.

10:07 PM: The evening is over and the total number of haunted visitors is somewhere between 17 and 18 hundred. The discrepancy comes from two houses that keep count with a clicker and the times they quit giving out candy. Let's just say we had a crap load of little ghouls relieve us of hundreds of pieces of candy

In the meantime, here are some pictures.

I'm going to bed!
