looking good laura! if i hadn't been to your house though, i'd wonder how the street could be so crooked compared to the very level house, or was it the other way that picture really shows the slope of your street.

Yeah, and my part isn't even that slopey.....I mean it is, but some parts are a lot worse.

I wish I had some front grass....it's hard to have curb appeal with just sidewalk. The house is built up on one heck of a tall foundation to meet the the sidewalk....most of the basement is above ground. Under the front porch we have a little storage room where we keep all of the decs.

If I had a front yard I'd have a LOT more decorations......

Yay, Halloween decorations! Loz, looks like I am going to have to enjoy yours. I usually have at least some corn stalks up at this point, but I am too behind now. Yours looks great!

I love halloween, The unfortunate thing about living in the boonies, is no trick or treaters.
I usually just do a few pumpkins and gourds. Sometimes I carve one.
Our old house the neighborhood had young familys, and the first year we were there the kids were all 10 and under, many with there parents. So adorable. I had a blast that year!

ya know....I never even carved a pumpkin until I was in college???? it was just not something my fam did. we lived 'inner city'...and it got more so year after year. I did a bit of trick or treating but only to very select houses. halloween was never a big deal to me as a kid. I love it now! we carve pumpkins...hoping to do a halloween sleepover or party for the kidos this year instead of trick or treating. I'm not big into decorations though. I'm kinda funny about storing stuff, then dragging it out, dusting/cleaning it off for a month, then storing it back up. (cricket lazy, I guess) ha ha

Cricket, thats how I feel about christmas decorating. The older I get the less I do. Its just me and My husband, and the cats. I put up the artificial tree so the cats can knock the balls off it!

growing up halloween was quite the ything at my house----and in later tears mom would make popcorn balls. All of us kids (3) still go mom's for uor popcorn balls.--(and she has them) When i gotr married we moved to the country and in all the years we lived there (25) we had 1 trick ot treater.--But I would take the kids into town and take them around my MIL's neighborhood.--when they got older, we would go 2 nights--1 they went trick or treating and 1 they helped give out candy. it is hard to say which night they enjoyed more.

We moved into townm in dec of 2004--so now we get a few kids come---this was once an empty road and peopel are not used to there being houses here.

but yes I have always decorated for all holidays---and I enjoy it very much.
At this new house, to my decorations, I have added a small garden flag out front---and I am loving it.

Loz, so your house is up against a sidewalk? I thought it was an optical illusion. So you do all your planting in the back?


I saw a really cool pumpkin. Someone had taken a punch apple corer, punched out pieces of apples and gourds, then punched out pieces of a pumpkin and replaced the pumpkin spaces with the other punched out pieces. It looked like the pumpkin was polka dotted.
